Article about a retired fighter was PRODed 3 years ago and recently restored. The fighter fails to meet WP:GNG or WP:MMANOT and the article's only source is his fight record at Sherdog. Jakejr (talk) 02:01, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep he has held three major titles in Cage Rage - a second tier organisation, and because he has won titles with them he passes the majority of the fighter's criteria for notability in MMANOT. BigzMMA (talk) 20:32, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually he meets none of the fighter criteria at MMANOT. The article's only source is his record on Sherdog, he hasn't fought for the title of a top tier MMA organization, and he has zero fights for a top tier organization. Jakejr (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I'm finding little significant coverage of Epstein. Pretty much all I can find are the standard fighter profile/records, videos, and basic fight results. Therefore, IMO, fails WP:GNG. --TreyGeek (talk) 23:53, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I am also finding little mention of Mark Epstein (fighter) on the internet outside of You Tube, Twitter and Facebook--but a fair bit of mention on Mark Epstein M.D. and Mark Epstein the poet... Pol430 talk to me 22:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is a poorly sourced article that fails to show he meets any notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 03:07, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
