Fred Ettish

Someone put this up as a speedy. It's not a speedy candidate, but it's still probably worth deleting. Fred Ettish is a name known to fans of Ultimate Fighting Championship. In one of the early matches in the early days of UFC, the UFC was known to take a lot of amateurs. One of them was Fred Ettish, a karate instructor who displayed more bravado than martial arts prowess, and lost his one and only fight in a particularly lame way. Shortly thereafter, a mockery site sprang up, which is still in existence. Does this make Fred Ettish notable enough for a bio? Dunno. I leave it up to you guys.

• Delete. Thanks to nominator for the background. A Google search seems to indicate this guy has/had some sort of facetious fan base, but I don't think that passes WP:BIO. --MCB 06:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not a noteable fighter. In fact, he is mostly known by old time fans who enjoy mocking him! Aika 15:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as the user who lodged the speedy template. If the admin didn't happen to have specific knowledge of who this guy was, we wouldn't even be having this discussion because the article was in terrible shape. I appreciate the effort made to explain who the guy is because it's actually a somewhat interesting story. He's not notable, though. Erechtheus 15:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

He is very noteable, because he took the fight in 10 minutes, he is maybe not noteable to the people who dont follow Mixed Martial Arts but he is to those who do. And Wikipedia is about giving information on everything, including the master Fred Ettish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.214.204.248 (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
