Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saemapetch Fairtex

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Despite being relisted twice, there seems to be a hesitance to !vote delete. Noone commented on the sources provided by Paul_012, making it more difficult to identify a consensus. Clearly it is a borderline case, but relisting it a third time seems futile considering how little input the first two relistings produced. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 11:46, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's true he does not meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters or kickboxers. My search did not find significant independent coverage that was not either promotional for an upcoming fight or routine sports reporting of results. I don't believe that what I found is sufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. However, I won't vote yet in order to give proponents of keeping this article a chance to find additional sources. I also must admit I had to rely on machine translations for articles in Thai. Papaursa (talk) 02:16, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete My own search found either articles promoting his next fight or results (or from onefc). I don't believe that's enough to meet WP:GNG and there's no evidence he meets WP:NKICK. I would never want to underestimate a Fairtex fighter, but the burden of proof is on those who claim notability and they haven't made their case. I don't doubt that my inability to read Thai articles puts my search at a disadvantage. Papaursa (talk) 03:33, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep per WP:AGF-and appears to meet WP:BASIC by reliable sources posted above. Thanks Idolmm (talk) 08:26, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
