ONE Fighting Championship: War of the Lions

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Contested PROD: This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT and WP:SPORTSEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate any lasting significance, I am unable to find any other sources that cover the event in detail other than the sort of routine coverage any sports event gets.

 * Merge into ONE Fighting Championship. Article has no independent sources list, 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: War of the Lions into that article. NJ Wine (talk) 01:11, 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) 14:39, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge or Redirect Either of those options seems reasonable to me. I don't see how this event merits its own article because it fails both WP:EVENT and WP:ROUTINE. Papaursa (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This was the highest recorded crowd at a mixed martial arts event in the history of Singapore and was the subject of numerous articles in national newspapers and international websites. Werda666 (talk) 02:21, 7 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Werda66 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep This was one of the most significant sporting events ever to take place in Singapore and received widespread media coverage as is clearly demonstrated by the links. Sadoka74 (talk) 19:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to pass WP:SPORTSEVENT per improvements and sources provided during AfD. Cavarrone (talk) 11:49, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2012 in mixed martial arts events: All sources about this event are routine coverage, and there is nothing in the article or the sources to indicate that the event has historical significance or a significant lasting effect. They way the article is, it falls into what Wikipedia is not as it is at best a news report. Per the primary notability guideline of current and past real events, outside of routine coverage, there aren't multiple reliable sources with significant, non-routine coverage that make analytic or evaluative claims about the significance of the event to presume that as a topic it passes the general notability guideline, so I do not think that it deserves a stand-alone article. The only notable non-routine coverage element is related to the female fighter Nicole Chua, not the event itself and that is at best a footnote or part of an article about her, not the event.
