MMA event on
Knowledge, and if it is how is it affecting them? Is someone dying because they look on the page and found out The New York BadAss commentated on the event, or that James Thompson defeated Bob Sapp because Bob had a leg injury during the fight? And what is it that the people get out of successfully deleting a page? A pat on the back? Someone telling you 'Well done'? Giving you a cash reward? Giving you a high honour in the real world where they'd recognise you as 'Sir' or 'Dame'? Don't think so, all that your getting for deleting page after page is more hardship from the same or different users for deleting pages that provide the very thing that all encyclopaedias offer - information. Users like
531:, what is the point of even having a normal Knowledge if nearly every subject has to be broken down into categorised Knowledge website? There is really no point of having a Knowledge at all if every subject cannot be on here. And as far as the policies goes, think about it, if no-one at all tries to enforce these policies, or to defend them, or use them in any way, then whats going to happen? no-ones going to punish you for not pointing it out nor rewarding you for doing so. It is for the best if we remove many of these un-necessary policies so that there will never again be confusion about this being just a selected information site that removes useful information within 2 years of being put on here.
457:
alone, I can clearly see that the amount of policies that people are claiming this page 'fails' makes it into the double figures, yet in terms of coverage, the UFC meets a similar number, yet I don't see this kind of 'lets deleted it because it fails 99 out of 100 policies' approach towards them, even though you do get people trying to do so under these reasons. Knowledge is going to the dogs simply because of these improperly written policies being made by people under 'consensus', many of which are either written, contributed or being enforced by people who admittedly say that they have no interest what-so-ever in the topic, and they are being used as a reason why to keep or delete a page.
308:, why must these pages keep getting nominated knowing they will remain on here? As clearly shown in the last AfD debate (a debate that barely hasn't be able to let the dust settle on...) the consensus said keep, however I do not know why but the admin closing the debate said 'No Consensus'. Now I'm sorry but it has clearly been show that this page meets GNG, EVENT, MMAEVENT, SPORTSEVENT and pretty much anything thrown against it. Now I am getting tired of trying to save these pages that shouldn't of even been nominated in the first place.
470:
The information on here is free, Knowledge is free, no-one gets paid to create nor delete pages, and it is far easier to create than delete, so why must we actually argue about whether a certain topic should remain on here when the reality of it is that this is an encyclopedia, a place where all information on any topic should be welcomed. I think people should start to realise this fact now!
461:
the dawn of time. Knowledge keeps record of anything that is relevant, which actually includes sport results, but due to this ridiculous system that somehow came into place, it can be debated. This isn't a debating website for information, this is an information website. Anything should be given a spot on here and no-one should really be debating otherwise.
713:
immediately be made void until the user has proven he has looked into the subject in more detail other than what appears to be a 2 second look at a Google result. I do agree that the SFL is a strong second tier promotion at worse, so lets make that happen now so that there will be no more future confusions about this subject.
665:
There is nothing that shows this event meets the notability criteria for events. Most of the sources are about the
Western entertainers coming to perform, which wouldn't make the event notable even if they had showed up. It's already listed in the SFL article (as are a number of events that haven't
509:
Bigz, The point of the wiki is to have a relatively neutral collection of the notable aspects of knowledge. Rather than lobby on every single MMA based deletion for a systemic change to what the wiki is, you should be lobbying at the
Village pumps for the systemic change. We have to go by what is on
464:
When you think about, who has ever been so offended by seeing an article on here (that may need an article or two to prove notability) that they decide it is somewhat illegal and decide to have such information remove from here entirely? Who is it actually affecting by having a page for India's first
456:
LMAO, I am amazed by the amount of policies there are that any page can survive a AfD. The amount of policies out there for a simple page with so many different rules and guidelines is absolutely ridiculous, and I am amazed that so many people actually care about every single one of them! On this AfD

Article does not demonstrate why this event is more than routine, regional sports reporting. Consensus has generally been that events featuring fighters primarily from a single region are not notable, even if it is one of the first events of its kind in the region (otherwise, we would have a page for
469:
admit that pages are being created faster than they are being deleted and why is that? Because pages here are not meant to be deleted, they are meant to remain on here. It is easier to create 10 pages full of information on 10 different topics than deleting one page full of information on one topic.
460:
Now I want to just remind everyone of this one simple fact that everyone actually seemed to have forgotten - THIS IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA! An encyclopedia keeps record of EVERY that has happened, regardless of how newsworthy, or even whether it is newsworthy now, next week, ten years ago, or since before

with the other anticipated SFL events. Contrary to BigzMMA's opinion, the last AfD was a no consensus and a huge mess due to all of the canvassing and sock/meat puppetry (which is likely why the closing admin was almost encouraging for a fresh AfD). While the event itself appears that it may pass

and throughout Asia means that this event has significant importance, also lets not forget that this is probably (though it may need to proven if false) the first MMA event to stream live on
Youtube and the fact that it was covered on national sport news on television must add to the case to keep.
747:
Well I appreciate the fact that you admitted you were wrong to say it wasn't covered by any paper outside of MMA. However, the fact that the event had been covered by India's version of the New York Times in more than just one article shows that it was viewed as a very important event. Mix in the

We must be sure not to be biased in coverage with a western bias. This may not be notable in the western world, but it is in what is a nation with one of the largest populations in the world, not to mention in Asia in general. To delete this blankly is just silly. Instead, Merge all existing SFL
767:
I agree with your points. I think the promotion itself is at this point notable. I'll wait a while to comment again on these pages. To me SFL events can prove to be notable by adding current top fighters and continuously promoting shows with large media coverage. Otherwise, I still question the
712:
Times of India? Opposing Views? HindustanTimes.com? Mid-Day.com? DailyMail.co.uk? Your telling me that these papers are exclusively MMA papers? Did you even look at the articles on the SFL 1 page to see their notability? Don't think so, just another improperly made delete vote which should

fact that this is the very first MMA event to happen in India by India's first MMA promotion, the stars of
Bollywood attending the event and lets not forget the main event was Bob Sapp vs James Thompson, two men who grew their names and reputations in
322:
Actually, at the previous AfD, I don't think there was consensus. A lot (not all) of the "keep" votes were, uh, kinda baseless (not meaning to offend anybody). So, if you took those votes out, there is pretty much no consensus.
52:. The clear consensus is that this does not meet Knowledge's inclusion criteria. The main "keep" argument is that an encyclopedia should record everything, but Knowledge decided long ago not to go down that route, and

the first large event in every region of the world for every conceivable sport). The promotion hosting this event likely does not pass GNG, nor does the majority of its participants.
733:. I crossed out the first part of my vote, but I still stand by the lack of importance of the event. Please don't assume that I'm not interested or knowlegdable about the subject. --

SFL is not listed as a notable organization. The first step to getting these articles on
