Weak Keep An in-depth article picked up in various Australian local press and several articles on Fight News Australia speaks toward WP:GNG - and WP:MMABIO does not supersede GNG. Simonm223 (talk) 12:16, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I added features or news articles about Nguyen from multiple newspapers or major news websites like the South China Morning Post, Fox Sports Asia and ABS-CBN and believe this now meets WP:GNG Sadoka74 (talk) 03:55, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He doesn't meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters and most of the coverage is either results or pre-fight promotion. Winning an Asian MMA award provides no more notability than being selected to a martial arts hall of fame--and those are always ignored. Papaursa (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't meet notability reqs. ShadessKB (talk) 20:37, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WP:MMANOT doesn't supersede WP:GNG; it doesn't matter how low an opinion Wikipedia has of anything without Sherdog's official of approval if they meet general notability guidelines. Simonm223 (talk) 15:49, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
delete I don't think the GNG is met by event promotions and results reporting. WP:NMMA, not WP:MMANOT, is the notability standard for MMA fighters and he doesn't meet that either. Simonm223, you've made your dislike of the MMA criteria very clear and repeatedly mentioning that it "doesn't supercede WP:GNG" is already understood--no one ever claimed that it did.Sandals1 (talk) 16:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
