Keep - He has 8 other wikipedia pages, wikimedia commons photos and placed in what was equivalent to the world championships - 2020 Individual Wrestling World Cup. The MMA guidelines shouldn't be mentioned here since the author of this really didn't go into his MMA career. He also generally seems to be a figure of interest in Armenia judging by the references. The "News" section needs cleaned up or removed though.KatoKungLee (talk) 21:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The number of wiki pages he has does not impact notability on the English WP. I have corrected the article's incorrect claims of a bronze medal at the 2020 World Cup--which was downgraded from an official world championship event because at least 8 of the world's top countries did not participate (due to Covid-19). Junior championships do not show notability and he has yet to have success as an adult at a major world event. I'm not voting to delete the article, which is my inclination, because I haven't looked at the sources to see if WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 14:06, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. There are 50 sources in this article, WTF. We can immediately discount those that are obviously non-independent: his own website, UWW (8 refs), the Armenian National Olympic Committee (3 refs); primary: youtube and flowrestling videos of fights (10 refs); unreliable sources: panarmenian.net, blognews.am. Of the remaining 26 sources, 4 are routine fight/transactional press: [1], [2], [3], [4]; 3 are essentially database entries: [5], [6], [7]; 13 are trivial/passing mentions: [8] and [9] (identical), [10], [11] and [12] (identical), [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]; 2 are Q&A interviews: [21], [22]; 2 I can't access (Vnews.am)

Only two articles had anything that could possibly contribute to BASIC: one is just six sentences of mostly-independent background info before an interview: [23], the other contains 8 sentences in an interview intro that are a mix between independent and reporting what Papikyan "wants" or "feels" (not independent): [24]. Altogether, I am not seeing a GNG pass. JoelleJay (talk) 00:36, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
