Fails WP:SPORTSEVENT as a non notable individual event. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Every event is not notable. In every other sport, it is the entire year or season that has notability. This is an event that takes place on one night, that has many similar events happen throughout the year.
The NFL is the most significant football league in the world, but it doesn't make all NFL games notable. Astudent0 (talk) 17:52, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

:::If you do not think all NFL games are notable, then you do not know what that word means, or better yet, you only prove how absurd it is to use something as subjective as "notability" as an inclusion standard on the ultimate encyclopedia. --24.112.202.78 (talk) 19:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)-This IP is a sock of community banned editor User:A Nobody[reply]

**WP:BEFORE. Even a simple Google search shows that this event is not merely covered in MMA related sites, but in such mainstream publications as the newspaper USA TODAY and in many articles, such as [1] (this article clearly demonstrates notability: "The Ultimate Fighting Championship's latest live show set marks for most viewers on Fuel TV.") and [2] (multiple paragraph article that discusses the results rather than just listing them), among others. --24.112.202.78 (talk) 13:27, 5 May 2012 (UTC)-This IP is a sock of community banned editor User:A Nobody[reply]

*UPDATE: It is no longer factually accurate to claim this event was not covered in reliable independent sources from non-MMA specific media as the article now cites at least two different articles from USA Today. --24.112.202.78 (talk) 13:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)-This IP is a sock of community banned editor User:A Nobody[reply]

  • Keep by default as no fact based or honest reason is likely to ever exist for deletion of this obviously notable event. Suggest topic ban of all accounts saying to delete from any and all MMA related discussions per WP:TROLL and WP:VANDAL. Nomination also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE as nominator is indiscriminately mass nominating these articles out of distaste and/or igorance of the subject. In any event, no good faith edito can deny that the article meets WP:EVENT and WP:SPORTSEVENT and that it is consistent with what Wikipedia is in the opinion of the majority of its editors and readers rather than the minority opinion of electronic book burners who hate knowledge and civilization. --63.3.19.130 (talk) 14:22, 5 May 2012 (UTC)-This IP is a sock of community banned editor User:A Nobody[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Delete I don't see how this event passes WP:EVENT and the coverage looks WP:ROUTINE to me. There doesn't seem to be anything significant about this event and the coverage is simply routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 02:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Merge This is a second or third tier event for UFC. Articles fails multiple notability policies and especially fails WP:ROUTINE. Merge contents into omnibus article. Ravensfire (talk) 13:27, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Merge If there's still an omnibus article than this could go into it. Otherwise there's nothing to show this is a notable event. Astudent0 (talk) 17:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is routine coverage of just another night of MMA fights. No notability is shown. Mdtemp (talk) 15:41, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per WP:ROUTINE and Papaursa above-- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 11:33, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Granted this is not a major UFC event and I am new to editing on Wiki, but is it possible to get some quantitative data before jumping to deletion? Can we get records for unique pageviews from an Admin to provide more details? I'm sure Wikipedia at least uses Google Analytics or some other impartial third party. I've got no problem deleting the page, but it seems like the arguments on these AfD are subjective. Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I'm new here and was drawn to the UFC debates after looking through the AfD page for UFC 146. Johntomico (talk) 16:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
[3] however, im not sure what use the numbers are for the purpose of this discussion. There are may pages which are clearly encyclopedic, but that do not recieve significant traffic. Conversly, there may be many highly popular topics which are not fit for an encyclopedia (TV episode reviews, trivia, etc). This particular topic imo is not encyclopdic (for a general encyclopedia), but may be popular enough to MMA fans to show traffic. They should go to MMAopedia or something.
