Contested PROD. Original concern was: Fails WP:NBOX and other relevant criteria for notability. Contested by User:EdwardMarshall1990, stating: Removed deletion notice as this page qualifies and is recognised by the Victorian Amateur Boxing Authority, one that has produced many Australian Olympic boxers who fall under the category of IBF Original concern still remains. The subject of the article is a boxer who competed on the amateur level with a record of 8 fights. The article does not indicate that he reached any kind of international or even national level.

Delete. There's no question that Marshall was indeed an amateur boxer affiliated with the VABF, nor that several of Australia's Olympians came from its ranks. But the concern is that Marshall himself did not - had he been an olympic competitor, he'd be notable. That's not the case. Had he reached the professional ranks, or achieved honors in the amateur ranks (Fighter of the year from some notable federation/publication, for example), then you might make the case that he's notable for that. And you wouldn't be wrong. But there's little evidence of that either. I'm happy to change my recommendation if someone (EdwardMarshall1990, perhaps?) can bring additional sources that show some real notability.
