I figured this was going to happen when the redirect to UFC 83 got deleted after the page move. This page is pure crystalballing. Nobody has announced anything official at this point: there are no official matches, no official venue, no official date, and no official city. Everything is coming from rumors pages. This is WAAAAY premature. Voluminous precedent for deletion here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Gromlakh (talk) 01:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gromlakh, WP:CRYSTAL e.t.c. Dreaded Walrus t c 02:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sure it'll happen but until a card is announced it's all WP:CRYSTAL. JJL (talk) 04:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:CRYSTAL. Redfarmer (talk) 11:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, article admits to being unverifiable.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 13:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of UFC events until valid article can be created. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 15:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Does a week not go by without some sort of UFC related AFD? Doc Strange (talk) 16:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - No, which is why I made this proposal. I'm hoping to cut down on the ridiculous number of AfD's we have to do. Gromlakh (talk) 17:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Or alternately, how about renaming all the UFC articles to include their taglines? For example, move UFC 81 to UFC 81: Breaking Point This way you can't create a future UFC page without knowing the tagline -- RoninBK T C 15:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Response here. Gromlakh (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of UFC events, per Brewcrewer. Also see my rationale in here. hateless 22:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect and protect per Hateless and Brewcrewer until we get a consensus on the proposal Gromlakh mentioned --Nate1481(t/c) 23:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Possible situation change (see below) abstaining probably change to keep soon. --Nate1481(t/c) 09:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Though I nom'd for deletion, I'd support hateless's redirect proposal as a temporary measure over straight deletion. Also supporting community ban against Nate1481 for misspelling my name. Gromlakh (talk) 23:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * where? :D --Nate1481(t/c) 23:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can I revert his vexatious un-misspelling of my name as vandalism? Gromlakh (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect & protect per above ˉˉanetode╦╩ 08:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and add confirmed info which exists for example here : "Tito Ortiz Confirms UFC 84 Fight with Lyoto Machida", "MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the fight with Salaverry’s camp, which received the fight offer just this afternoon...Ther Palhares-Salaverry fight will take place at UFC 84, which takes place May 24 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.", etc. - Indecision (talk) 08:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sherdog is saying he's signed a contract to appear the problem is the situation keeps changing before the AfD finishes...--Nate1481(t/c) 09:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
