The target page which this AfD redirected the article to, 2012 in UFC events, has since been deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 in UFC events (4th nomination). UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller now redirects to List of UFC events in 2012. Der yck C. 15:26, 23 August 2012 (UTC) reply |
The result was redirect to 2012 in UFC events. The argument that the only sources available represent routine coverage has not been adequately refuted. ‑Scottywong | talk _ 04:43, 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) 07:16, 13 April 2012 (UTC) reply

This is an absolutely ridiculous discussion. There are wikipedia pages for individual football games, individual tv shows, all sorts of individual sporting events. What's more, if you _don't_ know about MMA, you have no right to comment on what is or is not significant. Events do not have to be Holyfield getting his ear bitten off or Ali vs Foreman. I'm guessing those are only cited examples because those are incidents everyone knows about. An encyclopedia is to document important events that are _not_ common knowledge. It's simply asinine to suggest a sporting event seen by millions and in dozens of countries and put on by the world's largest fight promotion is too insignificant to be listed. What's more, it should be someone who is actually knowledgeable about the subject making these claims. Beansy ( talk) 11:06, 25 April 2012 (UTC) reply
