Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFC Japan: Ultimate Japan
nbsp; Article is totally unsourced, so it fails WP:V and there is nothing to consider for merging.&nbsp; As per , all of the body of this article needs to be removed.&nbsp; Claims that  applies to keep this article don't seem to carry any weight, except to the extent that "I like it" applies under WP:IAR, but let me amplify.&nbsp;  states, {{talkquote|Some games or series are inherently notablewhy?, including but not limited to the following:{{*}} The final series (or single game when there is not a series) determining the champion of a top league, e.g. 2009 Stanley Cup Finals, or 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, or Super Bowl XLIII, or 2006 UEFA Champions League Final}}Note that all of the examples listed are team sports.&nbsp; The counter-argument being passed around is that all UFC sports events deserve the status of the Stanley Cup Finals or the SuperBowl.&nbsp; Why should every event of one small company (Zuffa or SEG), get more coverage on Wikipedia than major league baseball?&nbsp; The answer that I sense is that these companies are "promoters", and that what is on Wikipedia is a function of  WP:PROMOTION and WP:N "promotional activity".&nbsp; One can also tell by the almost non-existant media coverage that the world at large does not consider this Japan event to have the status of the Stanley Cup Finals or the Superbowl.&nbsp; The nominator correctly notes that the topic fails , there is at most routine coverage of this event.&nbsp; I've clicked on dozens of links at Google without finding any actual newspaper articles about the event.&nbsp;  states, "Notable events usually have significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group." and "Significant national or international coverage is usually expected for an event to be notable."&nbsp; Balloon boy incident is sometimes mentioned as a  benchmark, and the coverage given to balloon boy is massively greater, in world-wide coverage and the amount of time over which the event was regularly reported.&nbsp; I recommend that the redirect also be deleted as this is not a likely search term.&nbsp; Finally, our  policy states, "routine news reporting on things like...sports...is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."&nbsp
