Female MMA fighter with no appearances for a top tier MMA organization, thus failing WP:NMMA. Playing in the Lingerie Football League doesn't confer notability either. In fact, she's not even listed on the roster given in the article. Papaursa (talk) 02:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the google news search above turns up a large number of articles about the subject matter. While she may not pass the specifics of WP:NMMA, she clearly passes the general notability guideline.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All I see is WP:ROUTINE sports coverage--fight results and announcements, no significant coverage. Papaursa (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a far cry from basic statistics and scores. There's a large amount of coverage throughout--there's nothing routine about that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:17, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not enough top-tier fights to pass WP:NMMA. She got media coverage for fighting Gina Carano, but that's about it. Not enough to pass WP:GNG. Luchuslu (talk) 21:54, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't meet WP:NMMA since she doesn't have any top tier fights. Doesn't meet WP:GNG since the coverage appears to be routine sports coverage--just fight summaries, announcements, or results. I didn't find anything that meets WP:N--"significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." 204.126.132.231 (talk) 15:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's clear she doesn't meet WP:NMMA. I also agree with the above comments that say she doesn't meet WP:GNG because her coverage is just typical sports reporting. Mdtemp (talk) 15:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
