Delete He has no top tier fights with which to meet WP:NMMA and there is no significant coverage of him. My own search did not find any evidence of him winning any major titles nor did I find anything that looks like it would meet WP:GNG (although there was some coverage of a Finnish hockey player with the same name). The claim of a third place finish at the Russian Combat Sambo championships has no sources and gives no dates. Even if it did, I don't think it would be enough to show notability on its own.

Undecided The various titles claimed for him are probably sufficient for notability, but they lack WP:RS citations to support their reality. If anybody inserts those references, I'd say keep. Otherwise, delete. Simonm223 (talk) 20:39, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear the MMA titles are not significant (in terms of WP notability). I couldn't find him in my search for his third place sambo finish. I agree that if all of the titles claimed were sourced showing he was indeed a national champion in both Pankration and submission grappling, as well as finishing third at the Russian sambo championships that he would meet WP:MANOTE. However, my vote to delete stands until such sources are provided. Papaursa (talk) 20:17, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Haven't seen anything that shows me significant coverage by reliable 3rd party sources. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep reasonably well known martial artist who passes GNG. This makes WP:MANOTE irrelevant. CrazyAces489 (talk) 23:36, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He's a kickboxer that doesn't meet the notability criteria for kickboxers. The only source is his name mentioned in a list of fights for an upcoming event. That's definitely not enough to meet WP:GNG. Mdtemp (talk) 16:46, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't necessarily call him a kickboxer, but you're right that appearing on a fight card is insufficient to meet GNG and there's no evidence to support a claim that he meets MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 13:35, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
