There's nothing that establish notability for inclusion. Searches basically point to two things, an organization to which the topic is affliated with and a bibliography of his books. Neither determines notability. Cold Season (talk) 00:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article currently lacks independent coverage. Don't know if the "man of the year" awards mentioned in the article are enough to show notability alone, but sourcing them would help him meet WP:GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 18:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This AfD is transcluded to the April 29 log. Did you mean to transclude it to the April 30th log? Ping me if you want a hand. czar · · 23:05, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article has mostly primary sources. Also, I'm not really seeing a credible assertion of notability either as an MMA artist or an author. As such, with no WP:SIGCOV, I'm inclined to !vote delete unless someone finds multiple reliable and secondary sources that talk about the subject in-depth. Mkdw ^talk 01:13, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
