Non notable boxer. Does not meet WP:NBOX and the claims are all based on a minor Boxing title which she has yet to fight for. Peter Rehse (talk) 14:17, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't meet WP:NBOX since she hasn't fought for any major titles. Being highly ranked in a minor boxing organization, whose article was deleted at AfD, is not enough to show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 17:11, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ She does not meet WP:NBOX and an article in a local section of the NYT is not enough to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 17:17, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't know how I missed the ESPNW article. Once there I found her mentioned several times. This led me to look further down my google search (about 7 pages), where I found this[1]. I have to agree with RonSigPi that she appears to meet GNG but not NBOX. Papaursa (talk) 19:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems like an example where WP:NBOX is not met, but WP:GNG is met. Example articles from different sources include (in addition to NY Times) [2], [3], [4], [5], and [6]. I think the article should certainly be improved, but I think it meets GNG.RonSigPi (talk) 00:02, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Announcements and cancellations of fights are routine sports coverage as is the reporting of results. A New York state title fight also doesn't show notability. The Times article is just a local color story--every big city newspaper has sections devoted to local neighborhoods or surrounding counties.Mdtemp (talk) 18:38, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Local sources are perfectly acceptable so long as they go beyond WP:ROUTINE and I think the detail of the NY Times and NY Daily News goes beyond that. You are ignoring the profile/interview through ESPN, a major international sports authority, as well as detailed coverage of her fights and training (there are a few more from the Recorder [7] and [8]). I did include one announcement, but that was because it was a UK site and she is an American fighter.RonSigPi (talk) 00:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per RonSigPi, kudos for finding good sources.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:39, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
