Reshat Mati

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable MMA fighter. There is a lot of hyperbole here including some borderline false claims. Does not meet WP:KICK, WP:NMMA or WP:NBOX - far as I can tell all titles are as Junior. One could suggest that references are pretty specific coverage but I think we need more to cover WP:GNG. Peter Rehse (talk) 12:30, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Lots of hyperbole, puffery, and misleading info. Winning titles as a pre-teen and teen does not show notability.  He has yet to compete at the highest level of any martial art.  He may become notable but right now that's WP:CRYSTALBALL.  His father is clearly driving him and he may become notable, but it's WP:TOOSOON for an article on him yet.  Lots of successful juniors never achieve the same success as an adult.Mdtemp (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Winning a 2 person 14-15 year old WKA division isn't grounds for notability. Youth titles show potential, but potential isn't the same as notable.Astudent0 (talk) 21:56, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete There is some coverage of him, but frankly, it's nothing I haven't seen literally thousands of times for child "prodigies" (in many fields). I see no reason to rush an article for someone who may not achieve success as an adult, especially since WP says notability is not temporary.  If he has success as an adult the article can be recreated at that time. Papaursa (talk) 02:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
