This article appears to fail WP:GNG. The citations speak as PR blurbs and therefore fail the "Independent of the subject" criterion. In addition, the event described in the article has yet to occur so we do not have any indication what may happen at the event, therefore WP:CRYSTAL applies in addition to WP:NTEMP as we cannot determine what enduring notability this event may have. In addition WP:NEVENT suggests "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) - whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time - are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance." therefore it is appropriate by our own policies to Delete and Redirect with protection until such time that there is reasonable coverage to pass all of these objections.

  • Speed keep per WP:SENSE as article clearly passes WP:N and WP:V due to coverage of this notable event in multiple WP:RS independent of the promotion. This event received newspaper coverage in USA Today nearly three months before it occurs due to the historic significance of the event. It features a TITLE FIGHT and not just any title fight but THE FIRST WOMEN'S TITLE FIGHT in the world's LARGEST MMA promotion in a GLOBALLY TELEVISED event. Frankly, toy say the first ever women's championship fight in the world's largest promotion is not notable is horribly sexist and to declare such mainstream sources as USA Today is blatantly ignorant. The nominator therefore either does not know what he is talking about or is flat out lying and as such, this insulting nomination violates WP:DICK, WP:TEND,and WP:TROLL. To be blunt, anyone who would want this article deleted is a moron. That is not some opionated personal attack, but a statement of fact. The first event in the most significant league of any sport to feature a women's championship bout is unquestionably notable per common sense. Period. If someone actually tries to argue otherwise, then they know nothing about gender and sports studies. This milestone moment in women's athletic history is of great interest to not just MMA fans, but academics of feminist history. This is probably the most ridiculous and laughable afd I have ever seen in my long-time of reading this site. Enough to make me register an account just to comment here.
