Delete Fails to meet
WP:NMMA since he has no top tier fights. Routine sports coverage is insufficient to meet
WP:GNG.

Keep – He actually just recently fought for the CXF World title and lost split decision to former
TUF competitor. I just updated it. And also he fought for
RFA which is top televised promotion against
Bojan Veličković who competes in the
UFC. Sholinian is one of very few popular Armenian mixed martial artist who also represents Ukraine at the high level stage, so I think this article meets
WP:NMMA and in his references list there's enough links to meet
WP:GNG as well. — Preceding

Keep I saw Sholinian's fight against
Bojan Veličković it was televised on national television
AXS TV he fought for
RFA. I think this article should stay. I think it meetst
WP:NMMA besides he's young fighter and Pretty sure he'll keep fighting on big stage. — Preceding

Comment I think this article should stay. These days MMA is very big so it's not only about fighters fighting in the UFC or Bellator. There's many other organizations should be considered just like in boxing.
RFA and CXF are big organizations in MMA world and
Vardan Sholinian is signed with them. But I'm not going to vote, will just leave a comment for future voters. Just my opinion. — Preceding

The insistence that the subject meets
WP:NMMA is curious. It is pretty clear that the subject does not.

Delete as nothing genuinely convincing for the standards here.

Comment If you eliminate the sock/meat puppets and the indefinitely blocked article author, there seems to be no support for keeping this article. The claims of him meeting
WP:NMMA are clearly not true and routine sports coverage is insufficient to meet
WP:GNG.

Weak keep Looks like he is pretty notable foreign fighter who represents his country in United States and has lots of reliable sources from different mma websites, few of them in Russian language though and lots of interviews and etc. on youtube too, so looks pretty notable to me. He trains with
Ronda Rousey and in one of youtube videos she was in his corner. Although I say weak keep because doesn't seem like he meets
WP:NMMA yet. I did some research and doesn't look like that
RFA and CXF organizations are in the list. Also
RFA was merged with
Legacy Fighting Championship and now it's
LFA so needs some updates on that too. — Preceding

Comment Striking the 4 keep opinions as sockpuppets, which I suspect the above user is just based on behavioral evidence as well.

I wouldn't be surprised. Same with the 2 users below. With all the socking going on in this AFD it just seems suspicious that all 3 of the accounts were created after this AFD was started. To be fair it could be a coincidence they all ended up here. It would be helpful if they could point out some independent, reliable sources instead of saying "lots of reliable sources". All I could find was fight result listings and some youtube entries.

Strong delete I'm not seeing where he meets
WP:NMMA at all. Also, the amount of what appears to be meatpupptery here is a bit concerning.
