Could not find any articles or websites to prove notability. Would CSD, but article mentions significance of person. No notability per WP:BIO, possible WP:SPAM. ~Beano~ (talk) (contribs) 19:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. IKF (which considers itself a kickboxing sanctioning authority and is mentioned more than once in the article) does not record Tad Coffen as a past pro- or amateur champion, as attested in the article. According to the website: "If not listed here, or in the Current IKF World Rankings, they were NEVER an IKF PRO Champion." (caps from original source, same quote is found regarding amateur listings as well.) Steamroller Assault (talk) 20:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- However, there may be some confusion as to whether "IKF" is the same as "IKF Kickboxing". Unfortunately, IKF.com (which is mentioned in the article) does not appear to be an active website. Steamroller Assault (talk) 20:34, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Further investigation compels me to vote rather than simply comment. PKA.com--also mentioned in the article as a source to establish notability--directs the user to the college fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha, which I imagine is not a kickboxing authority. Article fails WP:VERIFY. Steamroller Assault (talk) 20:52, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
