This event fails WP:NOT and WP:EVENT as there is no indication that the event it's self will have any enduring notability. Any claim to such is at best speculation for an event still three months away. The coverage it has to date is limited to the routine type of event announcements.

- Delete per nom. Future event with no established notability. We're not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. – NULL ‹talk›

- Merge to 2012 in UFC events. Only a single bout appears to be announced for this event and the article contains only routine coverage of that bout. There is no prose as requested by WP:SPORTSEVENT discussing why this event, and its single bout, is/will be notable. --TreyGeek (talk) 16:03, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because the subject is clearly important enough to be on Wikipedia and no one could seriously say otherwise. In fact, I have encountered the various incarnations of the guy who started this discussion elsewhere as he has been posting requests and sending out emails for people to come vote in these MMA discussions all over the place while gloating about how he is getting away using multiple accounts to fix the votes. See here, for example. I hate to be a snitch, but when I tried to engage with this dude and he blew me off and not in a good way! This charlatan is playing y'all for suckas and that ain't right! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlito's Way or the Highway Star (talk • contribs) 17:02, 19 May 2012 (UTC)Striking comments of sock of indef blocked user. --TreyGeek (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Keep Saying UFC 151 might not happen and is a WP:CRYSTALBALL violation is baseless. This is not speculation on something that might happen years in the future, and there is no evidence of the UFC organization going defunct in the next few months. Deleting this article serves no purpose other than making it harder to recreate when further information does become available. Zeekfox (talk) 13:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Because a world title in a top organization is being defended at the event, making it inherently notable. JonnyBonesJones (talk) 13:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article meets notability requirements due to having a championship belt for the largest MMA organization in the world on the line. Additionally, it's yet another of the rubber stamp AfD's being nominated by MtKing, who has clearly established himself as an anti-MMA deletionist SPA. He should be removed from this issue because his bias and unwillingness to listen to what anyone else has to say has been clearly established by now.Pull lead (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Note: This editor was unlocked from a indef block on the conduction they refrain from trolling and attacks, they were re-blocked after this edit. See here and here Mtking (edits) 21:10, 22 May 2012 (UTC) [reply]- Delete For the simple fact that this is a future event that has not occurred. BearMan998 (talk) 03:15, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
