There is no indication of why this event is notable. It clearly fails WP:EVENT and WP:ROUTINE since it is simply routine sports reporting.

Delete : as per WP:MMAEVENT individual events are not inherently notable, the coverage is routine in nature. This event lacks any lasting effect. Mt king ^(edits) 07:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Should WP:MMAEVENT be applied to a kickboxing event? Your other arguments are okay, just curious since kickboxing has it's own WP:KICK with its own notability guidelines, though it appears to be even less active than WP:MMA. --TreyGeek (talk) 17:58, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not sure WP:MMAEVENT is the right reference, but WP:EVENT is. Also, the kickboxing notability guidelines indicate that an event should be on the scale of the K-1 individual world championships to be truly notable, while this event is very minor. It was to be part of an 8 nation tournament, but they couldn't get enough countries interested, so they cancelled the tournament and held some individual matches.

Delete. This appears to be nothing more than routine sports coverage, as others have noted. It is perhaps worth mentioning that in reviewing unassessed martial arts articles at the end of 2011, I found what appears to be a large number of WAKO events that appear to just be routine coverage. I have not yet had time to go through and review those thoroughly. Janggeom (talk) 14:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
