North County Fight Club

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not a notable organization. No independent sources provided to prove otherwise. Notability of training organization is not inherited from its members. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 22:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I found only 2 notable fighters (according to WP:MMANOT) associated with this defunct organization. I also found no significant coverage of the club on its own. Mdtemp (talk) 15:24, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I disagree with the nom in that I believe trainers can become notable from the fighters they train (e.g., Angelo Dundee, Cus D'Amato, Gil Clancy). However, that notability stems from a long career and success with many fighters.  This club/team didn't last long and two successful fighters is not enough, especially when there's no indication that this team was responsible for the fighters' success.

 * I agree with your general assessment. What I meant was that the Wikipedia standard of notability would require that there be independent coverage of the organization, apart from sources about the individual fighters. Articles about the fighters with only a passing mention of the org won't cut it. This doesn't change the fact that this org isn't notable. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 15:52, 19 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I found no significant independent coverage, just passing mentions in articles related to the two UFC fighters. Astudent0 (talk) 18:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
