Zambian kickboxer who fails WP:NKICK. Only seems to have had one high level fight, which was in 2019. John B123 (talk) 22:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG and the current sourcing is awful. References 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are to the exact same blurb on 5 different websites. It mentions Maluma in passing only and contradicts the content of the article since it says that his opponent withdrew from the fight (our article currently states that Maluma won a decision). References 2 and 4 are identical and reference 3 is from the same website (Tapology) which publishes profiles and stats for MMA fighters. It lists 0 professional fights for Maluma. He's not even close to the notability requirements. Pichpich (talk) 22:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as wholly non-notable; so much so that I'm not even sure there is a claim to fame (the fight record sure ain't one). --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Probably could have been a speedy delete under A7. There is no significant independent coverage and almost no coverage at all. He has yet to have a professional MMA fight, or maybe any MMA fight, so he fails to meet WP:NMMA. His lone kickboxing "fight" was one in which his opponent withdrew before the fight so he's nowhere near meeting the criteria of WP:NKICK. There's also no evidence of notability as a karateka. In fact, he doesn't come close to meeting any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 10:21, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable kick boxer. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
keep Zambian athlete. --mcgraham giyan
Delete Not even close to meet any SNG in addition to a GNG fail. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:39, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Spam. No claim of significance either. Non-notable per our standards. Java Hurricane 06:11, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SIGCOV. There's no evidence that he is notable, or even a professional athlete. Bearian (talk) 18:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
