Jim Alers[edit]

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

Non-notable MMA fighter. Signing to a top tier organization is not near enough to the three top tier requirement especially since there is not anything else backing it up. ~~Also unsourced BLP.~~ Peter Rehse (talk) 17:58, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article was created WP:TOOSOON. He has no top tier fights. Since he signed with the UFC he may get them, but that's WP:CRYSTALBALL. Mdtemp (talk) 18:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete I agree with the previous comments. He doesn't meet WP:NMMA since he has no top tier fights and the references given are not enough to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 03:24, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
