574:, because barring robocalypse or carmegeddon or something, these events will happen, so deleting them now is just a waste and would mean unnecessarily having to start over again. These are article that again barring Raganarock ;0 or something will exist because they concern the leading MMA promotion in our solar system and will have lasting relevance in that ever growing sport's history as a consequence. If anything, over the coming weeks, more sources will continue to be written about these events. Their notability is only going to increase! --
52:. Merge into a list of UFC events, and do similarly for all future events (If there isn;pt a suitable one, make one, perhaps by year) . Before they take place, the articles will come much too close to promotion to justify separate articles. It seems the clearest basis for deciding. I admit I have no idea what to do with them after they take place--the discussion below gives the relevant factors, but does not reach any clear conclusion; but for future events, the added factor of CRYSTAL and promotion are sufficient to rule out separate articles.
776:
on the type of articles that are out on the event. So for example if they are covered by USA Today and The New York Times in
America, the The Sun in Britain, or the Times in India (in India of course) then it has the right to say that it goes beyond routine coverage and is given a higher rating of notability.
775:
or any of these clearly pointless
Knowledge (XXG) policies that actually have no effect what-so-ever on keeping or deleting UFC events because they are ALL on here anyway regardless of whatever policies they fail. So I just say why not just rate an event (UFC or any other MMA Promotion's event) based

352:
as separate promotions that hold events as regularly as possible. Just because a title isn't on the line or something out of the ordinary is happening at one of these events doesn't mean it isn't significant. For example an new major promotion in a country that has never held an MMA event which is
478:
Lol! If you do not think all UFC related events are notable then you do not know what you are talking about and should not be commenting in MMA related discussions. UFC is THE preeiminet MMA promotion. Their events are part of the larger history of MMA. There is even a printed publsihed UFC
300:
Because lets be honest, we know they are going to happen, its not like the UFC is going to go bankrupt tomorrow, or stop doing MMA events and only doing ballroom dancing :P. Besides, all the needed GNG standard articles will come out very soon anyway so we are just wasting words here.
744:
and I think there is sufficient sources to keep the article (even if it isn't sourced in the UFC 147 or TUF Brazil articles. I'll provide them if necessary). UFC 148 and 149, while are all but guaranteed to happen the date, location, and specific fight cards are completely
766:
Is there really any point to this AfD, when you think about it you can set up one for every single UFC event from now till
Doomsday and all the past events included, but the fact is that each and every one IS going to stay on Knowledge (XXG) whether or not it meets
225:- I would also include these, which have a couple more unreliable sources, but is still not being covered by mainstream outlets thus notability isn't firmly established. Th rush to create these articles before anything is announced isn't helpful.
592:
Technically, the notability can't go lower, since it hasn't been established by anything but a rumor. So if the notability changes, it can only go up. That doesn't change the fact that notability doesn't exist now.

493:
Unless that encyclopedia is about UFC 149, your comment has no bearing on this discussion. No one has argued the UFC article should be removed, only that there's no indication that this event is notable.
736:
I am extremely hesitant to make this !vote because of the amount of flak I have taken on my user talk page in the last week, which has me very close to becoming an inactive editor as far as the

debate? If you want to prove notability, wait a week or two instead of trying to run this thing under the ground until the next time, which ain't likely for these pages based on their votes.

This event was announced by credible sources and is notable. Also a fight between
Fabricio Werdum and Mike Russow is in the works for UFC 147, so deleting that would not be helpful at all.
