Notability has yet to be established. If he gets a fight against a bigger name opponent, then recreate the page. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 11:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - passes WP:MMANOT as he has multiple appearances for the UFC (in and out of the house) and has fought for Maximum Fighting Championship for most of his career which is also on MMANOT. The tiering on MMANOT has been misconstrued. Some people think that tier 2 is to be ignored, which it isn't, or there'd be no point in having it. When you have TUF experience, plus lots of fights from a promotion listed on MMANOT, you're notable enough...  Paralympiakos  (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This is like so many other discussions. TUF fights, except for the finale, aren't counted even by the UFC.  Sherdog and other MMA sites also don't count those fights and consensus at MMANOT was that only finale fights count towards notability. Jakejr (talk) 15:34, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Fails WP:NMMA. --TreyGeek (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 00:41, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Care to comment why? Just saying "not notable" isn't a proper rationale.  Paralympiakos  (talk) 17:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, it fails WP:MMANOT, WP:NOTABILITY, WP:ATHLETE, WP:BLP, and WP:NMMA (and a few others) in a big way. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Except it doesn't those policies, as I've explained above.  Paralympiakos  (talk) 23:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
