Lack of reliable, independent and significant sources, thus no GNG pass. Doesn't seem to meet WP:NBOX either. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 21:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - the 2017 piece in the Hamilton Spectator that is already referenced in the article is significant. And here's another from 2020. Nfitz ( talk) 16:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The coverage in The Spec is significant, but
WP:GNG states
Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
We would need two more examples of significant coverage from different organizations to meet the requirement. BilledMammal ( talk) 02:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC) - Delete There is nothing to show he is unusually notable for a boxing promoter. Of course he's mentioned in articles on events he's promoting, but that's not significant independent coverage. As BilledMammal mentions, multiple mentions in the Hamilton Spectator, even if you believe they're significant coverage, only count as one source. Two previous deletions do not strengthen the case for notability. Papaursa ( talk) 03:00, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete the indepedent sources from each other point in the GNG formula is not met enough to show notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to show he passes WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 16:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Not seeing the sources. Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of sigcov in multiple RS. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
