fails WP:SPORTSEVENT. having notable participants isn't good enough. no third party coverage in mainstream press. mere attendance of 1,700. LibStar (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to an omnibus article. If no such appropriate article exists, the closing admin should close this as "no consensus". The socalled MMA community may be tired of getting all this information deleted. It has been said that putting (cramming) all the stuff (information) into an omnibus is a safe haven. So let's do that for all the events where N fighters just "stand and bang", some looses, some is winning. This concludes my vote. Sorry for not throwing out WP: policies and hope that some sticks...

 * Keep or Merge - Does not fall under WP:SPORTSEVENT because one fight card is not the same as one football game. Capacity at the Pearl at the Palms is small, so that shouldn't have anything to do with determining notability. Covered by USA Today (long before most MMA events got mainstream coverage). Worst case scenerio, merge to an omnibus for 2007 UFC fights. Luchuslu (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge into an omnibus article, something like 2007 in UFC. I can't make a good case for a standalone article on this event - there was no title fight, and nothing notable happened.  The content shouldn't be lost, though. CaSJer (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Specifically, comments related to the target of the merged article as I could not find an omnibus target. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:11, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep as bad faith nom per WP:TEND. It takes all of two seconds to Google search this subject and find coverage in mainstream newspapers such as USA Today.  Considering that at worst there is a redirect target, there is no fact based reason for deletion.  Obviously nominator either does not know about the subject, is lying, or is too lazy to actually look for sources.  --143.105.49.234 (talk) 15:41, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The article fails WP:SPORTSEVENT in that it has very little in the way of "well sourced prose" establishing why this event is notable. The article cites only two references (four if you count the inline links) none providing more than the usual coverage of an MMA event.  I'm unable to find much more in the way of other sources and nothing outside of MMA oriented sites, thus fails WP:GNG.  --TreyGeek (talk) 13:55, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
