Notability has yet to be established. If he gets a fight against a bigger name opponent, then recreate the page. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 22:35, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Two fights in the UFC (yes losses, but fights nonetheless). If he gets cut, then delete. Luchuslu (talk) 18:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails both WP:NMMA and WP:MMANOT. Kevlar (talk) 03:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete With 2 losses for his 2 fights and no information about a third I think his rise to notability is in question.Peter Rehse (talk) 04:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP: He has 2 fights in the UFC, which makes him notable. Why is this JonyBonesJones is coming on here trying to delete all of these articles. We have had an issue with him vandalising pages and now he wants to delete somebody else's work. I don't understand this. Willdawg111 (talk) 18:40, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since when was I trying to vandalize any pages? lol. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 09:56, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Comment He has two fights with the UFC and is still signed to them by all indications (he is still listed on their website as being on the Lightweight roster). A third fight is almost assured at which point he'd technically meet WP:MMANOT standards. I probably wouldn't object to the deletion if he gets cut from the UFC after going 0-3, but I think we should wait to see if that actually happens. Chris Lytle lost his first two fights in the UFC and ended up fighting for them a total of 20 times before he retired from the sport. Regardless, for the nominator, do you have any idea how much harder it is to recreate a page that's already been deleted once than it is to make a completely new one? You're not helping WP:MMA one bit by deleting marginal cases like this when the fighter is still active at the elite level. I would suggest you have more patience.

Option Or one could userfy the page and resubmit.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:26, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and comment — I'm pretty sure that it will meet the criteria later, so i stored it on my sandbox. Poison Whiskey 19:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do that The version in your sandbox has had it's history trashed, making it breach of the attribution clause of the Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. The way to do this is ask for a WP:REFUND after deletion. The restored version comes complete with history and attribution of editors. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
