The result was Delete. This AfD has now been open for nearly 17 days, during which time there has been a lot of "if it's sourced..." and similar arguments in favour of keeping it, but no reliable sources have been added to the article and no sourced were provided in the course of the discussion which covered the subject in sufficient detail (ie more than just a passing mention) for them to be considered notable and the article is a newly-created, unsourced BLP so procedurally, the removal BLP PROD should have been reverted, had that happened, the article would long since have been deleted.

Delete A new unsourced BLP probably should have been speedied. Created by user Ufcremco, a clear COI. Claim of "introduced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Grappling in Europe" needs strong sourcing. Independent sources showing the world championship claimed in the article would be enough for me to change my vote. Astudent0 (talk) 14:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up all the spammy promotional bits, fought in UFC 2 semi-final (2 wins & then lost to Royce Gracie) and @ UFC 7 plausibly introduced BJJ to Europe (1993 fits with UFC 1 & BJJ's international expansion) but this obviously needs research & sourcing. --Nate^t/_c 09:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Utterly agree with above. David.snipes (talk) 15:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. Nate ^t/_c 09:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If sources can be found for the claims made, he meets the notability criteria. He's well known, but the article clearly needs to be rewritten and sourced. I'm willing to give the rescue squadron a chance. Papaursa (talk) 16:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - unreferenced BLP. The one (primary) reference in the article proves that he exists, nothing more. SnottyWong talk 23:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if reliable sources can be found to support the article's claims (European championships, international championships, etc.). On a cursory search, I found [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5], but most of these appear to have only passing references to the subject. Janggeom (talk) 00:18, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
