UFC on FOX 4[edit]

This event fails WP:NOT and WP:EVENT as there is no indication that the event it's self will have any enduring notability. Any claim to such is at best speculation for an event still three months away. The coverage it has to date is limited to the routine type of event announcements.

Delete I see nothing to show this event is notable or that the coverage is anything but routine. I've stopped following the MMA discussions, but if there's an appropriate place to merge then it can go there. Astudent0 (talk) 20:04, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article lacks non-routine coverage and the event appears to be just another fight card. There's no indication of anything that would make this event notable (WP:EVENT). Mdtemp (talk) 19:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Some editors dont like UFC and I think we should do what they say. Portillo (talk) 08:19, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to 2012 in UFC events. The article contains no prose as requested by WP:SPORTSEVENT. It lacks diverse sources citing no non-MMA sources. The article pretty much contains only a routine fight card listing. No championship fights and no attempt in the article to establish notability. --TreyGeek (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because the subject is clearly important enough to be on Wikipedia and no one could seriously say otherwise. In fact, I have encountered the various incarnations of the guy who started this discussion elsewhere as he has been posting requests and sending out emails for people to come vote in these MMA discussions all over the place while gloating about how he is getting away using multiple accounts to fix the votes. See here, for example. I hate to be a snitch, but when I tried to engage with this dude and he blew me off and not in a good way!

Delete An article about a fight card with nothing to show this event will have lasting significance or anything but routine sports coverage. Papaursa (talk) 21:49, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This event has not occurred yet to even establish any notability. BearMan998 (talk) 03:17, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to 2012 in UFC events. Nomination is known to be disruptive to ongoing RFC. Article is a breakout of notable topic list of UFC events that it is inappropriate to merge there due to balance (see WP:SS). But most important, an ongoing local agreement of how to prevent disruptive AFDs needs to be forged first. JJB 15:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
