Non notable promotions company, in fact this may well be CSD A7 as not seeing anything of significance. Fails WP:GNG (also nominating List of SuperKombat events) Mtking (talk) 01:22, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both no reliable third party coverage. For it to be in WP, there must be evidence of wider coverage than simply the fighting world. LibStar (talk) 12:43, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The World Grand Prix II event was broadcasted in Eurosport, which shows that this promotion has some importance. There are also hundreds of reports in credible websites, that deal with martial arts. I personally don't understand why there's always a proposal for deletion in pages concerning kickboxing organizations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnymanos arc (talk • contribs) 10:55, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A highly notable promotion with highly notable fighters. It's last event featured an inter-continental title fight and was broadcast by Eurosport. WölffReik (talk) 14:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

notable fighters and being broadcast does not meet automatic notability. please provide evidence of third party sources to meet WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 14:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete article and list There doesn't appear to be reliable sourcing of the event by third-party entities. I'm unsure if broadcasting on a network supports notability (i.e. nothing is said about this specifically on WP:SPORTSEVENT). However, it does say this about what a notable series or game is:

A game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game, especially if the game received front page coverage outside of the local areas involved.

The current list contains one game, and it is basically full of match outcomes and no substantive content, which WP:SPORTSEVENT requires:

Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats.

All in all, the event needs better coverage in independent sources. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 01:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are several articles on Superkombat from Romanian sports newspaper "Pro Sport" http://www.prosport.ro/cautare?in=prosport&q=Superkombat. Moreover here is an article from historical newspaper "Libertatea" covering a Superkombat event http://www.libertatea.ro/detalii/articol/stefan-leko-catalin-morosanu-gala-arte-martiale-constanta-protv-local-kombat-345410.html. Finally this is an article from another newspaper, "Adevarul", which seems to mention the promotion http://www.adevarul.ro/locale/tulcea/Tulcea-_Victorii_pe_banda_la_Campionatul_national_de_kempo_0_475152639.html. Here is also a report from Eurosport Romania which includes an analysis of the promotion http://tv.eurosport.ro/fightclub/storynews_sto2798444.shtml

There are even more but I think that's enough — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnymanos arc (talk • contribs) 21:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both as promotional and WP:RECENTISM. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SuperKombat World Grand Prix I, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SuperKombat World Grand Prix II demonstrate that this page's creator was promoting, uploading a promotional poster of the second event and using it to illustrate the infobox on an event which hadn't yet occurred, hence promotion. User has since been blocked for running a sockfarm. Since this page also lacks sources which aren't routine sports event news, delete. BusterD (talk) 13:34, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
