Icon Sport[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an article about a non-notable MMA organization with no reliable sources. The organization appears to be defunct since they haven't had a show in 2 years. It is not listed at WP:MMANOT and fails to meet the notability criteria for MMA organizations. Papaursa (talk) 04:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability is permanent, not temporary. Icon Sport is also part of the EliteXC ownership group, so under notable hands. Paralympiakos (talk) 21:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete An unreferenced article that doesn't show notability. According to WP:MMANOT and Paralympiakos's comment above, this means the organization was part of a defunct second-tier MMA organization. I don't see the notability. 131.118.229.82 (talk) 16:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into ProElite (assuming someone finds sources for the content). I was really on the fence as to keep or delete. There are Google hits about the promotion, their events, and their relation to ProElite. However, I'm unsure they are notable enough to be given their own article. The ProElite article is pretty stubby in itself; therefore, I feel sourced information about Icon Sport could be added as a subsection to the ProElite article in attempt to improve them both. (As an aside, I think if someone wants to take on this task they should consider doing the same to Rumble on the Rock and possibly King of the Cage. The first is definitely stubby and deletable, the second is much on the fence.) --TreyGeek (talk) 02:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If King of the Cage, another subgroup of Elite, was listed in WP:MMANOT and this one wasn't, the logical conclusion is that this one is even less notable. I'm also getting tired of unsourced articles. However, if this article can be reliably sourced, I'm OK with a merger into ProElite. Astudent0 (talk) 18:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete unless the article gains some reliable references that clearly demonstrate notability. At the moment, I do not see any references provided at all; just a few external links. Janggeom (talk) 15:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
