ONE Fighting Championship: Destiny of Warriors

Contested PROD : This yet to happen sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT and WP:SPORTSEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate what if any lasting significance this event will have. Mt king  (edits)  00:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge into ONE Fighting Championship. Article has no independent sources listed, nor could I find any independent sources when I searched on Google, so it fails Wikipedia's mixed martial art notability guideline.  Because ONE Fighting Championship is notable, we should merge ONE Fighting Championship: Destiny of Warriors into that article. NJ Wine (talk) 01:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into ONE Fighting Championship... Agree with NJ Wine... this makes the most sense.  Theopolisme  TALK 01:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2012 in mixed martial arts events --TreyGeek (talk) 14:23, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2012 in mixed martial arts events I think this redirect will keep some prose about the event, while merging it into ONE Fighting Championship will eliminate almost everything about the event except the fact of its existence. There is definitely not enough for this event to have its own article. Jakejr (talk) 14:35, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep it is the biggest MMA event to ever take place in Malaysia and is being held in the second biggest indoor venue in the entire country. There have been articles about it in the two major English language national newspapers in Malaysia. The Star (Malaysia) and the New Straits Times which I have added to the article as well as in every single major MMA website including Sherdog, MMA Weekly, Bloody Elbow and MMA Mania. It is an event which has massive significance in South East Asia.Sadoka74 (talk) 01:09, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Because with the closing of DREAM, ONE FC is Asia's biggest MMA Promotion. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This discussion isn't about One FC, it's about this particular fight card.


 * Keep I feel as if this article is notable enough to remain on Wikipedia and would be questionable if deleted, as it improves the coverage as said above Asian MMA. (Sepulwiki) 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge or Redirect Either of those options seems reasonable to me, but I think this event has problems with both WP:EVENT and WP:ROUTINE on its own. Papaursa (talk) 18:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep this event has clearly been shown to be the subject of numerous articles in major newspapers or websites and is the first significant mixed martials event ever to be held in Malaysia. Werda666 (talk) 02:18, 7 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Werda66 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep One FC is currently the biggest MMA promotion in Asia. Events held by such an organisation are notable per se. Behemoth (talk) 09:51, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Both of the previous comments are equivalent to saying that all NFL games are notable because they're covered by many papers and held by the largest football league. Jakejr (talk) 20:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
