While there are some sources about this person, in my view the coverage is not significant in its scope and therefore the subject does not meet our notability guidelines. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:11, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as there's simply nothing to suggest a better separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:54, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete even though I'm usually in favor of keeping articles whenever possible. If Lou Giordano becomes notable by the Wikipedia definition in the future, the deleted version of the article could be retrieved by an administrator to help in recreating the article at that time.
 * A bit more detail as to why the current references do not establish notability:
 * Bloody Elbow source is an interview; these do not count towards notability, as they are what the subject says about themselves rather than what independent third parties say about the subject. (I did not check whether Bloody Elbow would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
 * MMA Corner is a blank page aside from two images; this may be a technical issue on my end. (I did not check whether MMA Corner would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
 * Newsday is a reliable source, but material about Giordano amounts to a mention, not substantial coverage.
 * MMAJunkie also only mentioned Giordano rather than devoting substantial coverage to him. (I did not check whether MMAJunkie would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
 * Loaded Joes MMA podcast I was not able to evaluate, as I am hard of hearing, but it probably counts as an interview and thus wouldn't count towards establishing notability. (I did not check whether either Loaded Joes MMA podcast or host site Podcast Garden would count as a reliable source.)
 * MMA Odds Breaker I couldn't tell whether the linked page was a full transcript or just excerpts, but it seems to also be ineligible for establishing notability as an interview. (I did not check whether MMA Odds Breaker would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.) — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 15:53, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

 * With that said, I'm willing for this to be drafted and userfied. SwisterTwister   talk  07:09, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * There's already a version at User:Lutrition/sandbox (I presume the IP was Lutrition), although it seems an older draft. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
