Doesn't meet notability Nswix (talk) 01:26, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Perrin a legitimate competitor in the UFC and fighting a the main event of the prelims on a major card.

It's his third fight for the promotion, in addition to competing on DWCS.

Compare to his competitor tonight who has only fought on DWCS. Blackguise (talk) 01:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete Not even close to meeting WP:NMMA, or WP:GNG. How did this get made in the first place? ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 01:57, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Per WP:MMABIO Criteria supporting notability, point 1.

- 2 Bellator fights, and 2 UFC fights. About to have a 3rd UFC fight tonight. Per WP:MMATIER Blackguise (talk) 02:03, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blackguise: Please note that WP:NMMA is the relevant guideline. WP:MMABIO is outdated, the guidelines for sports (including MMA) were changed in March (see WP:NSPORTS2022). I cannot answer why MMABIO has not been updated as it causes confusion, but they are not the official guidelines anymore. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 02:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MMABIO's been updated. Ravenswing 16:51, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only mentions are MMA Junkie or MMA Fighting websites, neither of which are RS. Oaktree b (talk) 14:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Doesn't meet the relevant notability criterion, and no evidence he meets the GNG. Only coverage out there in reliable sources is routine sports coverage and casual mentions. Ravenswing 16:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Note: MMA Junkie and MMA Fighting are independent and reliable sources. However, subject fails GNG or NMMA to meet the notability creteria. Cassiopeia talk 05:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
