There are currently no sources other than YouTube videos to verify the notability of this person. I was unable to find any sources to assist. Has been unreferenced for at least 10 months now. All Hail The Muffin Nor does it taste nice... 23:35, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not that active here in wiki anymore, his notability is not a question, he's a legend of french muaythai and is a former 9 time world champion. interview with him [1].Marty Rockatansky (talk) 08:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, and I promise I'm not questioning his notability. What I am saying is that the article currently falls afoul of our verifiability guidelines as there's nothing substantiate his claims to notability. All Hail The Muffin Nor does it taste nice... 13:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Perhaps this article could do with some more sources but I think a deletion would be harsh as it is well written and informative. -- WölffReik (talk) 02:46, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the article may as well be unsourced at the moment as none of the sources provided meet WP:RS All Hail The Muffin Nor does it taste nice... 17:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Amazing how someone so obviously notable can be so hard to reference; amazing also that I've been trying to as I am very definitely not a sports enthusiast... There must be something to show his titles are the real thing. That would surely satisfy BLP and GNG. Peridon (talk) 19:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep According to this article in the very reliable Le Parisien, as of March 11 2006 Dany Bill had a record of 87 wins and only 9 losses ("Dany Bill (87 victoires, 9 défaites)") and this article, also from Le Parisien, confirms his status as 7 time world champion ("Dans l'ombre de l'étoile du RMB, Dany Bill (sept fois champion du monde)"). --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 21:53, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That'll do me, but if anyone can find more it would make things totally secure. Peridon (talk) 10:05, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable as French Senior Muay Thai Champion and as World Muay Thai Champion. Xajaso (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's a well known fighter and I'm glad someone was able to find third party sources to lend some support. This article is another example of how hard it can be to adequately source martial arts articles. Papaursa (talk) 01:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
