MMA fighter who fails WP:NMMA since he has no fights for a top tier organization. The article also has no sources and doesn't really make any claims of notability. In early December I redirected this article to the corresponding TUF article, but that was recently undone. My preference is to Redirect to The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, but I see nothing that supports an individual article on this fighter. Papaursa (talk) 19:07, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Redirect to The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes — Fails WP:NMMA and seems to fail WP:GNG. More information about his surfing career can help towards notability, but it's just a blank space in the article now.  Poison  Whiskey  20:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the above. Given that the article has already been redirected, we can probably tap this out. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:12, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes Apparently the IP that removed the redirect has now put it back. It's true that the deletion of this article would not be a loss, but since it's already set up as a redirect I think it should remain as a redirect. Mdtemp (talk) 19:44, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes Under WP:NMMA this person does not meet the criteria for a standalone article. They have participated in a prime-time reality competition a redirect seems highly appropriate than the wholesale deletion. Furthermore, it seems very likely this person will fight in a top tier MMA fight in which the redirect can be changed as opposed to another stub being recreated before that time.
