:({{Find sources AFD|title=Behzad Rafigh Doust}})

The subject fails both WP:NKICK and WP:MMA. The article has atrocious citations. I checked all of them and removed 95% of them. What is left are fight results with only his name mention, no significant coverage. As much as I love that the subject is a Lethwei coach, the award by Lethwei World itself is not sufficient enough to justify the standalone article. I cannot find any significant coverage about the subject, fails WP:GNG.

Here is a brief analysis of the citations:

• No mention of the subject:

• Delete I don't see significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG or evidence he meets WP:ANYBIO or WP:NKICK. Article consists mainly of a list of fights, many of which don't even have his opponents' full name (e.g., "Javier from Spain", "Alex from Switzerland", etc.).
