UFC Champions Drug Abuse List

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

Unsourced list claiming drug abuse of living people. I know most of these could be sourced, I believe this topic could be better handled on each person listed here's own article. ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 00:27, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, a list like this needs meticulous sourcing, per WP:BLP. This article does not have that.  Aside from that, I agree with the nominator that this information, even when sourced, would probably be better served on each individual athlete's biography page.

 * Delete, I found it interesting, but the list is just asking for a lawsuit. If the list had citations for each entry I would say keep, because banned substances in mixed martial arts is a hot topic &mdash; but the list contains no citations and these are living people so I think WP:BLP applies. Of the 9 people that appear on the list, I did see mention of the drugs on the articles Josh Barnett (no citation), Tim Sylvia, Vitor Belfort (URLs down), Sean Sherk, and Ricco Rodriguez. Those citations could be added to the list, but the title of the article is not quite neutral and limiting it to UFC champions is kind of arbitrary. The list does not specify if the fighter was taking the drug when they won the title so it's misleading. Looking at the article history, it looks like the article is a magnet for speculation. If the page is meant to disparage these people, it could even be speedily deleted per WP:CSD. --Pixelface (talk) 01:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete yes there's smoke but the claims of fire here need reliable sources to back them up due to WP:BLP concerns. JJL (talk) 01:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge sourced info into criticism section in Ultimate Fighting Championship. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per BLP (technically the article should be blanked since BLP violations should be deleted right away).  TJ   Spyke   02:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
