• Delete. Non-notable retired MMA fighter turned bartender. Realkyhick 17:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notability is a subjective term - as long as independent sources are cited for this article (certainly needs to be done) then it falls perfectly in line with WP:NOTABILITY. The contributing editors should be contacted and asked to source this article. LACameraman 23:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

In this case, however, the subject of the article is the equivalent of a minor league ball player. He has never competed in a noteworthy organization. Thesaddestday 00:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• 'Speedy Delete'Strong Delete It's a HOAX. "Shannon Stock" MMA only finds WP or mirrors. No "Shannon Stock" on Google News or Newspaper Arch. Same result for all 3 organizations he's competed in. UFA fighter of the Year yields lots of hits due to Unrestricted Free Agent, but nothing that looks relevant. James Manning actually is a fighter w/a 1-0-1 record but Stock isn't on it [1], also all Manning's fights are in England. Using the rest of the fighter's names in quotes with either record, MMA or fighter to narrow it down no one else shows any relevant ghits. There's a Simon James, who's an English fighter/promoter, and a James Simon who writes a bodybuilding column. Lacy Mills is a female, high school Basketball player in the subjects area. He's fought all these guys and none of them even have a Myspace page for self promotion? Then there's the SPA list: Freya's pop [2], 24.217.192.36 [3], Wtmnmf [4], Neverlast[5], Bobo2006 [6], Asprinrox [7], and the articles creator Dg314[8] have all made 0 edits outside this article.
