Non-notable boxer. Lacks the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG and winning the Golden Gloves is not enough to meet WP:NBOX. Being Mike Tyson's sparring partner doesn't give him notability because of WP:NOTINHERITED. Mdtemp (talk) 20:07, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

- Keep if the Golden Gloves title he won was the National GG and not a State GG then I would consider that automatically notable per WP:NBOX.--Donniediamond (talk) 13:51, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Golden gloves, either national or state, is not considered notable. The main reasoning is that it is not the National Championship for amateur boxing.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- The National Golden Gloves is a long standing and very respected national competition running for almost 100 years. I would consider is as prestigious as the USACs. Do you know if his title was the National, Territorial or State title?--Donniediamond (talk) 14:10, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter since none of them would be sufficient to meet WP:NBOX. The real question is whether or not he meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 18:37, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oh but it most certainly does. It makes a massive difference if he won the US National Golden Gloves competition or if he won the Montgomery County Golden Gloves.--Donniediamond (talk) 09:54, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. Stewart wasn't just Tyson's "sparring partner", but rather a major influence early on. He gets over six paragraphs in this New York magazine Tyson interview. That plus the Golden Gloves is sufficient. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:23, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I agree Stewart was more than Tyson's sparring partner. I'm not sure there's quite enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, but it's close enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. Papaursa (talk) 03:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
