The result was no consensus. This article seems to have more support than some of the other MMA articles which have been at AfD recently. However, since so many of the keep votes are either from SPA's, or feature arguments not grounded in policy, I can't close this with a consensus to keep the article. I would recommend starting an RfC to determine specifically where the line is between notable and non-notable MMA events, rather than bringing each individual one to their own AfD and getting inconsistent results. ‑Scottywong | converse _ 05:01, 25 April 2012 (UTC) reply

This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:MMAEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate any lasting significance, the sources are from either before or immediately post the event and are just of the routine coverage type any sports event gets, they are either not independent or from MMA centric websources that lack diversity. This event can, and is, more than adequately covered in 2012 in UFC events. Mt king (edits) 07:15, 13 April 2012 (UTC) reply

We have all said it. I, personally have cited numerous policies and guidelines showing why this article should rmain. Plus, we have all pointed out that GNG defines it as encyclopedic. You cite other guidelines trying to show how it is an exception. I have shown how it is not. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 07:11, 19 April 2012 (UTC) reply
