Delete per nom. First event hasn't even been held yet.... 99.12.241.215 (talk) 14:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Revert (?) - This page has useful history as a redirect to Windstream Communications, a company that used to operate under the name Valor Communications Group. Why not just revert the edits? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks for noticing. Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 14:51, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Normally I'd agree, though in this case VALOR seems like a fairly non-specific redirect to the communications company; not sure why it's written in caps. 99.12.241.215 (talk) 14:52, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Karl334: Sadly, once the AFD is in play, it has to run its course, so your revert to the redirect page is actually not a valid action until this discussion has been resolved. As evidenced above (99.12.241.215), my suggestion is not met with universal acceptance, so we must reach consensus here before the matter can be fully resolved.

Assuming the article is deleted, a disambiguated redirect, for Valor Communications Group, can be created; we're already halfway there: [1]. 99.12.241.215 (talk) 15:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete MMA organizations is non-notable. I don't see a valid reason for redirect to Windstream Communications as "VALOR" does not appear to be the name of the acquired company and the article/page title doesn't conform with WP:CAPS and WP:TITLEFORMAT. --TreyGeek (talk) 17:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If a redirect is determined to be the preference (it's too early to tell), it really should be redirected to Valor which is a disambig page. --TreyGeek (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article is unsourced and the organization does not appear to meet any notability criteria. I don't think a redirect is proper since there are other WP articles that start with Valor that would also have valid claims for being a redirect target. I don't think anyone will confuse an MMA promoter with a communications company. Papaursa (talk) 03:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
