He's a non-notable kickboxer. He doesn't meet any of the kickboxer notability criteria at WP:NKICK and my search failed to turn up multiple independent reliable sources that have significant coverage of him, so WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO are not met. The article itself has nothing but a link to his own website. Being the youngest to sign with Glory does not show notability (even if true), especially when he lost his first two fights and is no longer with the organization. The AFC (whatever that stands for) is not a notable kickboxing organization and since all the fights took place in Austria it may well mean that the A stands for Austria (in which case the claim of being a "world champion" looks even weaker). He's young so he may become notable, but that's a case of WP:CRYSTALBALL and this article is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Papaursa (talk) 21:29, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He is a famous kickbox talent in Holland with more socialmedia followers than the most fighter with a wiki page. He is returning this year to Glory, so he definetly deserves a wiki page. We could add sources but deletion is no good option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.137.2.195 (talk) 23:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are a new and currently blocked user, but you should realize that merely fighting for Glory does not indicate WP notability. The number of social media followers also has no impact on notability. Papaursa (talk) 04:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if they were an actual notable kick boxzer, we would have multiple reliable source indepth cases of coverage. That is what we need to justify an article, not just empty assertions that the individual is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:26, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
