I noticed that your name suggests that you are the son of Al Gavin Sr. Please be aware that this can be seen as a conflict of interest and is discouraged on Wikipedia. Although it isn't outright banned, please be careful of this since it's very easy to enhance things without actually meaning to and end up writing things that aren't neutral and encyclopedic in nature. The phrase "with his passing another of Boxings greats was gone" is a good example of this since it's not neutral and isn't written encyclopedic. You also lacked any sources to prove notability, which are required for any article to pass WP:NSPORT or the general notability guidelines. I highly recommend that you look to WikiProject Sports to help you write this article since not only can they help you look for sources, but they would also help keep the article more neutral and less likely to be considered a conflict of interest. I do think that your father seems like he might be notable enough for an entry, but I just couldn't accept the entry in its current form. Again, I highly recommend that you check out the Wikiproject that's devoted to sports. Their entire goal is to expand the sports articles on Wikipedia, so they'd be able to help find reliable sources to prove your father's notability.

I did find some articles, so if you want to use these to help provide sources then feel free. You will definitely need more than what these few articles provide, but they will go a long way towards helping show notability. ,, , .Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:41, 22 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
