Nominated for deletion because does not meet WP:NMMA and does not appear to otherwise meet WP:GNG. Should be noted that death was covered by ESPN (http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/8184080/heavyweight-sherman-pendergarst-45-dies-cancer). RonSigPi (talk) 04:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Keep Lots of coverage. ESPN. It seems we'll be seeing more of him.Hathatehat (talk) 08:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Weak Keep He has two fights for top tier organizations, so he's just short of the WP:MMANOT guidelines, but there does seem to be some significant coverage of him, both from ESPN and from the Baltimore Sun, so I'd say he borderline passes WP:GNG. CaSJer (talk) 14:29, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 Keep Continuing to fight/perform while battling cancer adds substance to the article that is now historical. Another secondary reliable source at QuadCityTimes even though it adds no new information. I (and/or others) will flesh the article out a bit with info from the obit in the Baltimore Sun and add sources in the next few days. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ) (cont) Join WER 14:34, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
