He has none of the three top tier fights required to meet WP:NMMA. Coverage does not seem to meet the GNG--it's fight results or promoting an upcoming fight. Sandals1 (talk) 19:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - subjecet fails WP:MMABIO and sources are routine fight reports thus fails WP:GNG. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 19:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Oberservation seems wrong, there is a Vice articile dedicated to it. I also found this article, seems enough to pass GNG. Dwaro (talk) 22:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article you reference is a promotional interview with Fabian Edwards before a fight where he mentions van Steenis as an opponent he'd like to fight. That's a passing mention which doesn't count towards meeting WP:GNG. I don't know if Vice is a reliable source, but even if it is that's one article--which is far short of the multiple sources of significant independent coverage required to show notability. I'll wait to vote to see if more significant coverage is produced. Papaursa (talk) 16:40, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He fails the MMA fighter notability criteria at WP:NMMA. My search, admittedly in English, didn't find coverage that I believe is significant enough to meet WP:GNG. I found his name in MMA databases and in fight results, but nothing that would be atypical for any pro MMA fighter. Papaursa (talk) 04:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
