KEEP PER WP:NMMA. The guidance literally tells you that a fighter can be notable if they "[h]ave fought at least three (3) professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization", on his page there are SEVEN (7) fights listed under events held by Fighting Network Rings, which according to the list that the guidance refers you to, is a now-defunct but formerly top-tier MMA organisation. I really do not understand why people make these one-sentence AfD proposals with such obvious and unexplained flaws. Before wiping out the work of other editors, you should at least do the work necessary to confirm that it is necessary to do so. FOARP (talk) 09:00, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment FOARP As per Sherdog.com, subject fight under these promotions see here [1]. Fighting Network Rings seems not organize the events as per Sherdog. Do clarify if I have missed something there. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 09:40, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They list it as "Rings" which is just another name for Fighting Rings per the Fighting Network Rings page, the events this guy fought at are also listed amongst those organised by Fighting Rings on this page, the conclusion is clearly that this guy fought in events organised by Fighting Rings, a top-tier MMA organisation (or one that was top-tier at the time the fights took place per the list). Again, if you're going to nominate something for AfD, unless the nom is really, really straight-forward, then you're going to have to explain why it should be deleted in some detail. Otherwise it just looks like you didn't do WP:BEFORE. FOARP (talk) 10:00, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment FOARP The ref indicated on this page still go back to Sherdog.com and it doesnt indicate the promotion promote Fighting Netwok Rings produce Ring event. The Fighting Network Rings page does not indicate they promote ring events and the fighter page has no source to indicate such as well. Anywhere, thank you for the info.
