Article previously deleted via XFD (see here), aswell as draftified after the such deletion, both times for failing GNG.
Event does not appear to meet GNG or WP:EVENT. Atleast half of the sources in the article are primary alone, and I didn't find much coverage that qualifies as SIGCOV. I would appreciate some the input of veteran editors for this nomination. ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 00:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I don't see the significant independent coverage that shows WP:GNG is met and there's certainly nothing that shows this battle of youtubers has "enduring historical significance" as stated in WP:NEVENT. Papaursa (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete this article shouldn't exist. It should instead be a redirect like to list of influencer boxing matches. GhaziTwaissi (talk) 10:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep As the article's creator, I'm not sure if I'm technically allowed to weigh in on the discussion but I'll add my opinion here anyway. Firstly, if the use of primary sources is an issue I can change them to secondary sources conveying the same information, I wasn't aware that was a problem when I made the article. Secondly, I'm not sure I understand why you don't consider the topic as having significant coverage as there are many articles by sports/fighting news outlets (Powcast Sports, MMA Fighting, British Boxing News, Boxing Scene etc.) and local and national UK newspapers (Manchester Evening News, Sheffield Star, Economic Times, Mirror etc.) covering the build up and results of the event. Finally as for the long lasting signifcance of the event, I personally believe it will be remembered for a long time to come as one of the initial wave of fights under the MF & DAZN billing and the professional debut of certain fighters (as well as containing establised names like Anthony Taylor and Slim Albaher).
- Feel free to correct me on these points as I'm relatively new and still getting used to wikipedia guidelines. TripleJayDoubleYou (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Per Papaursa. The article also has less reliable sources than I hoped it would have. Nythar (💬-❄️) 00:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
