No evidence of notability; doesn't even slightly meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Zero coverage in RSes; all sources are primary, and/or press releases. The only third-party coverage I've found in a WP:BEFORE is in deprecated sources The Sun and RT. I'd be happy to be shown wrong on this, but ...

Keep - There are multiple 3rd party sources showing evidence of notability (significant coverage) regarding this organization; DailyMail.com, MyMMANews.com, Las Vegas Journal, The New York Post... If anything, article just needs additional citation. 2601:246:4301:F400:A9E8:9830:B988:A408 (talk) 00:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecated and generally unreliable sources specifically cannot be used to make claims of notability - David Gerard (talk) 19:43, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lack of WP:RS sources. WP:NYPOST and WP:DAILYMAIL are not reliable sources. I agree with the proposer that the citations for the article are primary sources or press releases, which are not sufficient for notability. I did find a Las Vegas Review Journal article which I don't think indicates sufficient notability. Cxbrx (talk) 02:38, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:Context Matters with those sources. Additionally there are multiple MMA related news outlets, as well as FOX SPORTS, YAHOO, METRO.CO.UK, and Black Sports Online. This organization is covered by countless sources. Well more notable when compared to already established pages Naked Women's Wrestling League and Lingerie Basketball League.

Delete I don't believe any of the coverage listed (or the coverage I found in my search) is sufficient to show the significant independent coverage in multiple reliable sources that is required to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 04:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Largely promotional. Nigej (talk) 12:03, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously Keep : The creation of this organization as well as the events hosted by this organization has received significant coverage. Just because this coverage has been from deprecated sources new york post, dailymail, and other MMA websites does not show no evidence of notability. These sources have been deprecated due to past fact checking, however context matters. These sources are not used for claims, they are used for coverage that is easily fact checked by pulling info from LingerieFC.com (video evidence). Just because these events don't receive regular coverage from ESPN should not be a call for deletion. And it appears that reliable source Fox News/Sports was added as a source..

The new reference is clearly promotional. All about what president Roni Taylor says, promoting the PPV. Nigej (talk) 18:16, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecated sources specifically cannot be used to support claims of notability, as you're trying to do here - David Gerard (talk) 19:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not meant to be an advertising platform. The coverage is all super promotional, and often not indepdent at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion- can we Merge this page with Lingerie Basketball League? Any thoughts on that? TY.54 (talk) 17:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, just another prime candidate for deletion. Nigej (talk) 18:57, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
