Tim Boetsch

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm not sure whether this person meets the notability bar for sports people, so I thought it would benefit from wider scrutiny. He seems to get some coverage (from a Google search), but doesn't appear to have won anything of note. In addition to some cleanup and neutrality issues, the article has a few edits from a Tboetsch... but not enough that I'm convinced it's a vanity article. Anyway, it needs more eyes on it than just mine ;) EyeSerene talk 12:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep If he's been fighting in the UFC he passes WP:Athlete for competing at the top level. Article may still need a clean up though. I'll have a go. --Nate1481 13:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep It's not as cut and dry with MMA fighters as other athletes, but I see fights at 3 major UFC events (2 of them wins.) One good reference in there, and it looks like there's more out there based on a quick google news search.--Cube lurker (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Nom withdrawn. Thank you all for the input. My suspicion was of a possible vanity article of borderline notability, and we have enough of those already ;) However, I'm persuaded by the comments from those who know the sport better than I do, so if someone wants to close this AfD...? Thanks again, EyeSerene talk 16:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
