Non-notable boxer with no significant coverage. Fails GNG since the only sources given are passing mentions. The titles he fought for were minor (not surprising with a record of 10 wins in 18 fights) and there's nothing to show his acting career is notable.Mdtemp (talk) 14:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per hardly known, barely known contributions in both his fighting and acting careers and insufficient news coverage. Like the starter of the ADF said, brief mentions aren't notable. Longevitydude (talk) 00:36, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't meet Wikipedia notability requirements. Suttungr (talk) 00:49, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't shown anything passing GNG. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:29, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He's been cast in a fairly high profile movie in the DC comics universe, Suicide Squad. With, you know, Jared Leto and Will Smith and a couple other nobodies.--Jorm (talk) 05:55, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The movie doesn't come out for a year and a half and notability is not inherited from being in a movie with notable actors.Mdtemp (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keepA boxer who has a decent fighting record as well as an actor. He has transcended boxing and qualifies under GNG. IB Times is a notable article. [1] noted in a book [2] and [3]. CrazyAces489 (talk) 00:15, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He doesn't meet WP:NBOX or WP:NACTOR and none of the listed coverage is anything but routine sports reporting. Don't know why you make up your own criteria when they already exist.Mdtemp (talk) 16:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no evidence that he meets WP:NBOX, WP:NACTOR, or WP:GNG and he can't inherit notability from being in a film with notable actors. Papaursa (talk) 13:56, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He's been cast as a significant character in a high profile movie in the DC comics universe, Suicide Squad. --rcross (talk) 03:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The movie hasn't come out so we don't know if he has a significant role and even if he does, one role is not enough to meet WP:NACTOR. Mdtemp (talk) 15:29, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the creator of the article, it appears I jumped the gun here. I don't think's it as big of a GNG fail as some are making it to be, but most of the sources are routine reporting of him getting cast in the movie.--Yankees10 16:37, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
