The result was delete. At this moment, amateur kickboxers are not notable unless they pass
WP:GNG.--

Fails to meet
WP:KICK which specifically says amateur kickboxing championships do not show notability and lacks the coverage necessary to meet
WP:GNG.

Keep Ok this article is a stub but thats not a problem for me. He is a world champion in his sport. Just as the person who wins the smalles world championsip category in amateur boxing do deserve their place on wiki so does this boy. It is not a local championship but the world amateur championship as can be seen here List of
WAKO Amateur World Championships. There is only one referance and it goes to an article in
Kurir witch is one of the biggest newspaper in Serbia. Google after this boy gives alot of articles and many youtube clips. I think the main problem for this article is it is so small. If it could be added then alot more would be clearer.

Comment There are rules for kickboxer notability, your wishes won't keep this article on wikipedia. Rules are here:
Kickboxing task force.

Comment After reading the rules it does clearly say this article should be deleted but still I think sometimes an exception could be made. After all this boxer is rulling world champion and european champion. After looking at more articles it seems he has won everything there is to win in Europe when it comes to amateur kickboxing. I do admit its not a big sport in Europe so the number of articles from major sources are not much. He is not amateur anymore so I guess this article will come up again if he keeps the pace. Still I think an exception could be made here already now.
