Fails WP:NMMA with one top-tier bout. Has very poor sourcing and no secondary sources, so probably fails WP:GNG as well. Luchuslu (talk) 19:49, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - He was notable fighter that fought outside Japan, has one fight for top tier organisation, a loss to Cro Cop, very remarkable liver kick KO and last fight and test to sea can Mirko handle russin fighters before facing Fedor. If you ask me he is notable, but I am not shure is it enough for wikipedia. Master Sun Tzu (talk) 01:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that his bout against Cro Cop was notable for the reasons you mentioned. But it was his only bout with a major fight promotion. He did fight some notable guys in M-1, but WP:NMMA says that doesn't count toward notability. I think the bigger issue is that the article has no secondary sources, thus failing WP:GNG, literally step one in determining notability. Luchuslu (talk) 05:52, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree...so

Comment Just to remark that notability doesn't have to depend on English-language sources and that, where a person's career has been very largely outside English-speaking areas, relevant sources may well not be in English. Searching for the subject on the Cyrillic version of his name (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) produces quite a number of GNews hits. I don't read Russian, which makes it difficult to decide exactly how many of them are about the subject (some, judging by Google Translate, clearly are not) and how many of those are reliable. It might help, though, if someone who does read Russian could look them over. PWilkinson (talk) 12:46, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
