Ivan Emelianenko[edit]

This is essentially an unsourced BLP. One of the references is an article on his brother Fedor that mentions Ivan with the rest of Fedor's family, but certainly doesn't indicate notability (which is not inherited). The only mentions I can find of Ivan are in connection with Fedor or concern rumors that he's going to follow his brother into the MMA ring. Since he hasn't actually fought any MMA bouts, I don't see how he's notable. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He only seems to be mentioned for two things in my search--usually as Fedor's youngest brother and for sambo. Notability is not inherited and, as best I can find, Ivan is the 4th highest level (of 8) in sambo. According to the FIAS (international sambo federation) website, he has never competed (much less won) at a major competition. The website lists results for juniors and above since 2005 and includes world championships, but also other major events. Astudent0 (talk) 16:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability is not inherited. Janggeom (talk) 07:13, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the previous delete comments. I found nothing to show he's notable. If he wasn't Fedor's brother there would probably be no mentions of him. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 17:08, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
