UFC 143

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT, the article concentrates more on the gossip and speculation in the lead up to the event rather than the actual event it's self, there is no attempt to demonstrate any lasting significance and fails WP:PERSISTENCE as the sources are from either before or immediately post the event and are just of the routine coverage type any sports event gets. In the absence of enduring coverage as demonstrated by coverage after the initial news cycle this event can, and is, more than adequately covered in 2012 in UFC events.

Keep We are now clearly seeing some of the events being very strong keeps and some are not currently as strong (UFC 149 for example) and what is happening is we are now cutting apart the single article events and supplementing them with the omnibus. This is so stupid. It's clearly ridiculous and not working. Kill the stupid omnibus and restore the single article events and all will be good and usable for everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.18.241.231 (talk) 03:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The straw arguments this guy is making could be made about most sporting events on this site.Fraggy1 (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why an annual omnibus page for UFC events? Why not organize them by decade, or by champion, or by lunar cycle? A "2012 in UFC" page is a completely arbitrary sports page. MMA organizations have already split the sport into discrete units. There's no reason to create a new organizational system with its own internal logic apart from the sport. Dominic (talk) 00:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article contains mostly statistics (fight results, payouts and awards) and generally lacks "well sourced prose" as requested by WP:SPORTSEVENT for notable events. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:32, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep MtKing's arguments apply to just about every sporting event on Wikipedia. He's very clearly just someone who doesn't have any appreciation for the sport, so to him, no MMA event is notable. Optravisprime (talk) 03:39, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Going to venture and say that this is a notable event simply for the main-event fallout alone. I'm not opposed to an omnibus, but I believe an ominbus should be in collaboration with, not replacing, event pages. Teamsleep (talk) 19:12, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of reliable sources for notability. Portillo (talk) 03:52, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If this and every other UFC event article are allegedly not notable, why would an omnibus article be? 145 x 0 = 0, yes? As it is, this is good. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:37, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
