This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy, the event is still about three months away, the numerous primary routine sources quoted just cover the announcements of who is going to appear which NOTNEWSPAPER explicitly says "is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. There is no attempt in the article to demonstrate what the lasting significance of this event will be, there will I have no doubt be 11 winners and 11 looser but beond that any significance at this stage will be pure speculation.
For the avoidance of doubt this nomination has nothing to do with the events notability or not, as a professional sports event, meeting the WP:GNG is not in doubt, however that is no guarantee of a subjects suitability for an article in an encyclopedia if, as in this case, it fails the inclusion policy.

  • Keep Upcoming welter weight championship; reliable and independent sources for this type of event are heavily prevalent and WP:FUTURE specifically states, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." As stated in other AfD's, CRYSTAL is mainly to discourage editors from making assumptions about events. The main problem with UFC would be WP:NEVENT, but as evident at WP:MMANOT, another policy is required to assert the notability of MMA events where NEVENT cannot. As such, the coverage for this event is significantly more than previous upcoming events where the event itself is the subject of the publication. Mkdw 23:43, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
