Strikeforce Challengers: Lindland vs. Casey

Contested PROD : This sports event fails WP:NOT policy as it is for an event without any demonstrated enduring notability. Only sources are of the routine coverage type any sports event gets. Mt king  (edits)  02:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Article fails WP:EVENT and consists almost completely of WP:ROUTINE sports results. In fact, there are aeveral amateur MMA fights on the card and no indication of any notability. Papaursa (talk) 03:30, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I think Papaursa has summed things up correctly--article lacks notability and significant coverage. Astudent0 (talk) 16:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete There are no indications of notability and no significant non-routine coverage. Mdtemp (talk) 18:54, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails routine or something like that. Portillo (talk) 08:28, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The article only cites non-MMA sources and a quick Google search suggests that there may not be any non-MMA sources thus is a borderline fail of WP:GNG. The article contains only routine fight results and lacks well-sourced prose as requested by WP:SPORTSEVENT to discuss the notability of the event.  --TreyGeek (talk) 16:07, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, because the subject is clearly important enough to be on Wikipedia and no one could seriously say otherwise. In fact, I have encountered the various incarnations of the guy who started this discussion elsewhere as he has been posting requests and sending out emails for people to come vote in these MMA discussions all over the place while gloating about how he is getting away using multiple accounts to fix the votes.  See here, for example.  I hate to be a snitch, but when I tried to engage with this dude and he blew me off and not in a good way! This charlatan is playing y'all for suckas and that ain't right!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlito's Way or the Highway Star (talk • contribs) 17:03, 19 May 2012 (UTC)   Striking comments of sock of indef blocked user. --TreyGeek (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
