Having fought at Glory Kick boxing championship and claims he has defeated a lot of notable champions, I don’t see any of those claims being supported by reliable sources. We can not just assume notability unless there are multiple, secondary, reliable, independent sources with significant coverage. Most sources in the article are just profiles which may not be independent. To those who may ivote Keep because from the article details the subject meets criteria in WP:KICK, we are supposed to consider WP:GNG first.

Comment I'm also not seeing significant independent coverage, just routine reporting of results. However, I know how hard it is to find good kickboxing sources here in the U.S. I'm inclined to defer to WP:NKICK Papaursa (talk) 19:21, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Subject is notable, passes both the general and kickboxing notability guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GameRCrom (talk • contribs) 01:37, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GameRCrom, Hello, I know why you think the subject is notable because they fought for the glory title, well yes, but the article is pretty much poorly sourced for a BLP article. Please also take a look at the closing sentence of WP:NKICK, this subject doesn’t meet our notability guidelines. Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 07:45, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The last sentence of WP:NKICK specifically refers to amateur kickboxers, which Boynazarov is not. It was put in because a number of articles were being written about people who won titles in amateur competitions but nothing else. Papaursa (talk) 02:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:SPORTSBASIC since Glory kickboxing is a "major international [...] professional competition". I am also doing a bit of WP:WAXing here (which "may form part of a cogent argument"), because if we evaluate the subject under with well established notability thresholds for other sports, he would easily meet them.

Comment The sources relate directly to the competition and no other type of news, if the subject was notable there would be a general news article about him. There may well be a news article in the subjects own country and language covering his fights. Australianblackbelt (talk) 22:20, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a credible news site which states: According to him, this show will feature a number of local world renowned fighters - Mahmud Muradov, Hasan Barotov, Furkat Yakubov, Mukhammadali Tashturghunov, Anvar Boynazarov. https://tashkenttimes.uz/sports/1169-jean-claude-van-damme-to-attend-asian-fight-2017-in-tashkent Australianblackbelt (talk) 22:49, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
