- Keep, meets WP:NMMA due to the subject having competed in more than three professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization (Strikeforce, 2009-2011). SailingInABathTub (talk) 11:49, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Meeting WP:NMMA is irrelevant as the competitor is no longer active, you will have to prove he passes GNG. ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 12:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- There is no such requirement, notability is not temporary. SailingInABathTub (talk) 12:59, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- "While notability itself is not temporary, from time to time a reassessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion, or new evidence may arise for articles previously deemed unsuitable."
- He was considered "notable" because he met WP:NMMA guidelines, which allows pages to be created in hopes that GNG will be met. When a fighter or athlete retires we need to review the page, and if it doesn't meet GNG we delete the page. ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 21:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - Fails WP:SPORTBASIC due to lack of significant coverage. Although the article goes beyond stub length, it's mostly just statistics written out as prose. WP:NMMA tells us that "significant coverage is likely to exist" however none has actually been found. –dlthewave ☎ 14:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
