Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFC 146
I hesitate to comment but I hope the "keepers" will take this as constructive suggestions and insight into the "deletionists" mentality.  |"Articles about notable sporting events should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats."  Currently, UFC 146 appears to contain only |"routine news coverage of such things as fight announcements".  If MMA event articles (UFC or otherwise) included more prose discussing the significance of the event, the background of bouts and the fighters involved in them, what happened during the bouts, and any after effects of the event then "deletionists" will have less to argue from.  As concrete examples of what I'm referring to look at UFC 94 and UFC 140 as articles that contain significant amounts of well-sourced prose that discuss all aspects of the event.  If a particular event is notable, the article should explain why it is notable and UFC 146 fails to do so.  You have to look hard to realize there is a championship match on the line.  There is significance that this is the only UFC event to have a main card of only heavyweight fights.  There is/was huge controversy surrounding the original main event when Overeem failed a pre-fight drug test.  None of these issues are discussed in any great detail.  If they were discussed for more than a single sentence, it adds weight to outsiders (non-MMA viewing folks) that this may really be a notable article and will help support the "keepers" case
