Deletion of K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 in Los Angeles

Comment: Quote from : "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." I see enough reliable, independant sources on K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 in Los Angeles to feel that the topic meets the policy. If it is presumed to satisfy , the burden of proof is on the deletionists, not the contributors. K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 in Tokyo Final 16 needs a little more work, but has more inherant notability because it is part of the larger K-1 World Grand Prix, historically the most prestiguous kickboxing tournament in the world. Users should  and try to improve pages instead of nominating them for deletion on first sight

Comment: As Mdtemp pointed out, this was a qualifying event for the qualifying event for the final event and it's hard to claim that makes the event significant.  In addition, the only sources are either results or an announcement that the event will be taking place--hardly siginficant coverage.  That's especially true when (E) says "routine news coverage of such things as ... sports ... are not sufficient basis for an article. Planned coverage of pre-scheduled events, especially when those involved in the event are also promoting it, is considered to be routine. ... sports scores ... should be considered routine. Routine events such as sports matches ... are probably not notable."  I do think that, with proper sourcing, an argument can be made that the final event, when it happens, is notable since it will determine the K-1 champion

Comment: Rather than reply to each, this is a reply to all those saying ''passes GNG'' (or other guideline or essay), please re-read the nomination, this is not about does the article pass the GNG, if you read of the whole of otability (which is the page WP:GNG redirects to) you will see that the second paragraph says
