Speedy delete for Repost was declined because of improved sourcing and expansion of first article. However the underlying issue remains - subject is a non-notable boxer with only three professional fights. Far from meeting WP:NBOX Peter Rehse (talk) 09:53, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

- I agree that he doesn't meet WP:NBOX, but I basing my Keep vote on the fact that it passes WP:GNG - with full length features in NPR, China News and ESPN over a period of six months. The article has other useable references but I think those three are decent enough to validate the criteria for inclusion. Fuebaey (talk) 10:25, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Uninitiated keep by WP:GNG. Dropping a few Chinese {{Find sources}} for the good people here. His major call to notability, from my uninitiated eyes, seems to be a controversial KO that went viral. [1] Reportedly he was well under the general boxing radar before this. That he has since been nicknamed ("Yao Ming of boxing" for his towering stature) by multiple sources could also be evidence of notability. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 01:26, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Another case of someone being notable by WP standards without having much in the way of actual accomplishments. There appears to be enough coverage of him to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 00:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
