Subject is an amateur mixed martial arts fighter only given coverage because he's son of Randy Couture. I'm unsure if the coverage he's received is substantial enough to meet WP:BIO as most of it seems to be routine coverage of the type "Hey, did you know Couture's son is fighting? He just won his latest fight, making him 3-1 as an amateur". I'm nominating even though I'm neutral because as someone who's interested in how he'll develop as a fighter I'm probably not the best judge of notability. --aktsu (t / c) 18:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect and merge to the father. Looks like he fails WP:ATHLETE and no evidence of substantial coverage in the news. JJL (talk) 18:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE as an amateur fighter. Only thing that seems to be notable about him is being the son of a notable fighter. Doesn't qualify for an article, IMO. --TreyGeek (talk) 00:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Offspring of notable individuals doesn't carry over to said offspring, plus he fails WP:ATHLETE. ArcAngel (talk) 02:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
