Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because...Diakiese now has three fights in the UFC, which is the criteria for being deemed "notable" as established by the MMA mods. Page could definitely use some content updating (which I will gladly do if it stays up) but Diakiese passes the "three fights in a big organization" rule.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because it will be improved. It is a fighters page who recently broke through so it will be expanded as his career continues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:206:8101:FD66:A49C:F61E:9C15:688 (talk) 17:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because Diakiese is a relevant, up-and-coming UFC fighter. He one of the top 40 fighters in his weight class in the UFC, and he likely will continue to justify the need for a Wiki entry as he continues to compete and win. Deleting the page would be a waste of time and, ultimately, would look silly if there was not one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.2.193.1 (talk) 17:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because he is an upcoming fighter in the UFC, the world's largest MMA organisation. The article is currently short and is mostly just his professional record. Once this article is filled out more, it will be one of a lot of interest for a big number of readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.220.237.120 (talk) 18:50, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new fighter on the rise who did not have a wiki yet and as far as I know his profile seems accurate.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because Marc Diakiese is a top MMA prospect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.165.63 (talk) 21:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It meets the correct standard[edit]

It should stay as it meets WP:MMABIO Marc Diakiese has fought 3 times in the UFC the minimun standard for notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Ppt1973 (talk) 16:07, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because Marc Diakiese meets the requirements for noteworthiness according to Wikipedia guidelines. This was not the case until recently, which is why it was deleted before, but he unquestionably meets the requirements now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaztheberserk (talk • contribs) 00:03, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

Diakiese is now a notable athlete. Not only has he won a Performance of the Night in the UFC, he's been featured on the cover of Attitude magazine and in a front-page BBC article. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/7c4b3937-e42c-4096-9f67-5bb480c938f0 2A02:C7F:3E16:E000:1D99:A2C1:17C7:8A04 (talk) 17:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be deleted because Marc Diakiese has three fights in the UFC, a top organization for MMA, as well as a performance of the night bonus from the UFC. This means that he is a top prospect and has been recognized by the organization as "up and coming", and will most likely fight more in the future. The information on the page is accurate and almost completely cited, and will have more information added to it in the future as he fights more — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.125.95.233 (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... There's nothing wrong with it. It's a short piece on an obscure MMA fighter but nothing untoward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.81.80.52 (talk) 13:24, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
