Subject is a mixed martial arts fighter. Fails WP:MMABIO for not having at least 3 fights under top tier promotion (UFC/Invicta) and also fails GNG for info of fights are merely routine reports.  Cassiopeia(talk) 00:02, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: AfD is not about how an editor feels about the subject but based on if the subject meets Wikipedia notability guidelines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 01:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Your argument for declining GNG is "fails GNG for info of fights are merely routine reports." So how would you evaluate other reliable sources that are not routine reports about fights but are about the subject himself? Some examples are: mmafigting, mmajukie, insider, yahoo (original from mma junkie) and bbc.

 * Comment: I understand you are the the creator of the page and want the article to be kept. However, you need to understand the Wikipedia notbility requirements. Notability need to be supported by significant coverage from independent. reliable sources and the subject is talked about in length and in dept and not merely mentioned. All the source provided fails the mentioned agove for all the sources are not independent, accept for "yahoo (original from mma junkie)" source, due to the sources are from interview articles. The only IRS, "yahoo (original from mma junkie)", is a very brief article about the subject has been signed by the promotion and that is not and in dept article about the subject.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:00, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Having gone through the existing policies in more detail, I can see why this article is not quite ready for mainspace. I am changing my vote to Delete. Thanks to all the editors who took their time to review this nomination. Wickedwiki2 (talk) 15:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment:Wickedwiki2 im with you on this one pal, this article shouldn't be deleted because one person decides the fighter hasn't fought in "top-tier promotions", that's ridiculous lol Sixone63 (talk) 13:04, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * try find some more sources and info regarding the fighter so they don't have any excuses to delete your work, ill try help a bit later on with updating and sourcing some info. Sixone63 (talk) 13:05, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment: Seems to me that sports personalities are so hit&miss on wiki. I feel like the subject is notable in his 'area' but the references are thin and Twitter is not valid IMO.CaliBuds (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I don't really see widespread coverage on mainstream websites, just mma centric ones where they talk about his most recent fight or the one coming up. I understand there is some hype around him, but he hasn't done anything in his career that is renowned or that shows that he is world class fighters. HeinzMaster (talk) 00:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:MMA guidelines and WP:GNG RafaelHP (talk) 05:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete He does not meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters at WP:NMMA. Coverage appears to be routine sports reporting/promotion and not significant independent coverage as WP:GNG requires.  At best it's WP:TOOSOON to claim he's notable and also requires a WP:CRYSTALBALL. Papaursa (talk) 03:31, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
