Comment: nbsp; As per hat Wikipedia is NOT#Wikipedia is not a newspaper "...routine news reporting on things like...sports...is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."&nbsp;  adds "Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats."&nbsp; The only citation currently in the article is that there were "160,000 buys" from a source that asks, "Please take some time and sign our guestbook!"; which is not "well-sourced prose".&nbsp; Given the absence of reliable citations, WP:V by itself is sufficient reason to delete this article, although primary sources can be reliable so this is not by itself a complete argument for deletion.&nbsp; At the same time, when sourcing the article means starting from zero sources, it means nothing is lost to editors in the deletion of this article under WP:V.&nbsp; The claim that there was a protest associated with this event, which as per WP:NRVE seems likely to be sourceable, does not mean that readers would also be interested in the UFC 8 sports event itself, which is another way of saying notability is not inherited.&nbsp; I concur with the nominator that there is no indication that the event has any enduring notability or significance.&nbsp

Comment: Per , which has been used as justification to keep other UFC articles and would seem to be as valid here.  Also, there's at least one  talking about the show after the fact, on http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dm-ufceight041009 Yahoo, which does also go into the significance of the event

Comment: The article doesn't show evidence that the coverage received by the event is in any way different from |routine coverage, thus it it falls into WP:!|what Wikipedia is not as it is at best a |news report. As stated in the |general notability guideline a topic must have received significant coverage to presume that it an appropriate topic for a stand-alone article, but it is only a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion, and UFC 8 as a stand alone topic violates WP:!|what Wikipedia is not. Also, at the time the UFC was unregulated and the event did not receive non-routine coverage, so I do not believe that in any way it meets the |sports notability criteria for individual games or series, and that guideline does not exempt the article from the WP:!|what Wikipedia is not policy
