Subject is non-notable. Sherdog.com, the accepted source for MMA fighter records, shows him as never having fought a professional MMA fight. (The fights listed in the article are belonging to a "Franklin Hickman" and are amateur bouts.) Fails WP:Athlete and general rules regarding notability. --TreyGeek (talk) 02:41, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Subject clearly fails WP:Athlete. In addition, www.sherdog.com and www.mixedmartialarts.com show no fights for "George Hickman". The two fights mentioned in the article were amateur fights and the North Carolina Boxing Authority lists the winner as "Franklin Hickman". Even if George and Franklin are the same person, 2 amateur fights don't make him notable as an MMA fighter and neither does his wrestling record where he was 0-2 in the NCAA tournament (according to the Bloomsburg U. sports information report dated 3/19/09).

- Delete as he's never fought, only potential fights were amateur ones which doesn't help him pass WP:ATH.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 19:52, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
