 * Keep as an MMA fighter he may not be notable but as the president of Brave FC, he has received a fair amount of coverage that I think leans towards passing GNG.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 18:23, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep as Mohammed Shahid is not only the president of BRAVE Combat Federation, but a notable in the MMA world who looks to change MMA from an event business to a sports business. This could be seen from the recent BRAVE International Combat Week event which took place few weeks ago in Bahrain where top International Mixed Martial Arts Federation countries could fight for the spot of the best Amateur mixed martial arts federation with a price and a trophy to be won by the top federation. This is a first of it's kind in MMA world where team fight against other teams. This vision only came true through the initiative and organization of Mohammed Shahid and Kerrith Brown, president of International Mixed Martial Arts Federation. Shahid fails NMMA as he is no longer a mixed martial arts fighter but rather a notable MMA organizer and with vision to impact lives. Rather than deleting, his wiki page should rather be updated.

 * Comment: Being the president of a MMA org does not mean the subject merit a page in the Wikipedia, but the subject needs to pass the Wikipedia notability which none of the above editor demonstrate the necessary requirements. Cassiopeia</b>  talk  23:17, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep he is notable as the CEO of Brave Combat Federation receiving citations from tier 1 publications and national media. He has also received national media citations almost on a daily basis. The page needs to be updated. Haribhagirath (talk) 18:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Body text and sources have since added after my comment above, but the career section is about the company/org and not about the subject himself. No relevant to contribute to GNG for the subject as notability is not inherited. Subject still fails notability guidelines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  04:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment He is not notable for his sports achievements. He appears to be an active promoter of sporting events and is frequently mentioned in articles.  However, looking through the sources I don't see much coverage of him as a person--only as a promoter of this or that event.  That doesn't seem like significant coverage to me and he doesn't appear to meet WP:ANYBIO.  I'm leaning delete unless someone can show me specific coverage that meets WP:GNG.

 * Since no additional coverage has been shown, I am voting to Delete this article. Papaursa (talk) 11:46, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep He was a fighter and became a businessman, He even has sources in Arabic Mila vecto (talk) 03:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete article is borderline promotional; sources are of dubious significance and independence (unless somebody can bother to point out WP:THREE among the mess that is currently this article) and do not appear to amount to anything ressembling WP:SIGCOV. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete First he was a MMA fighter, then he was a businessman because there is no sources for the MMA classification. There is no effective sourcing as a businesman either. Fails WP:SIGCOV. A very very poor article with promo problems.   scope_creep Talk  23:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete on account of subject failing to meet the required notability-criteria. We keep reading above that "there must be sources", or that "surely, sources exist in other languages", or that "the subject already is or must be notable" --yet no support for these assertions has been produced. Diagnosis: No legs to stand on. -The Gnome (talk) 11:35, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
