Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deen the Great vs. Walid Sharks


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Numerically in favor of keeping, but there's a lot of poor votes, a couple of non-bolded comments that are clearly supporting deletion, and very little explicit analysis of notability. No prejudice against speedy renomination. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Deen the Great vs. Walid Sharks

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENTS. No evidence of significant coverage (most of the reporting I found was by DAZN themselves), as well as no evidence that this event will be historically significant.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 17:52, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Strongly keep: ESPN reported on Greg Hardy being on the card. It will be of historical significant as this card includes the defeat of Hasim Rahman Jr. to Greg Hard. As well as the location to where KSI announced he is fighting Dillon Danis. You could argue with alot of other boxing articles having a lack of historical significant while this being the most tactical YouTube match thus far. GhaziTwaissi (talk) 07:53, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I personally don't think an ex football player and MMA fighter taking on a boxer who is best known for NOT fighting Jake Paul is historically significant. I've noticed a theme that these YouTube crossover events usually don't meet GNG or EVENTS, and this appears no different.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 21:12, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * you could argue with alot of other boxing matches. Mayweather vs Moore, Thor vs Eddie Hall, etc. This was one of the first full professional crossover events that I'd consider significant as well as the Dillon Danis encounter at the Weigh-in which I will add now. GhaziTwaissi (talk) 08:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: ESPN covered this, multiple big sources reported this, Bloody Elbow, MMAMania, MMA Fighting and more had live coverage. I say keep. D MCCG (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Remove I see some heavy bias because of KSI's involvement with Misfits promotion, as most of the information on this article rely on a single source and have not verified information with other reputable sports publications. However, I can't see why the creation of possibly a larger Misfits article wouldn't counter these issues. Sure, we would have to clean it of single-source edits but I think that would be the best compromise. MF & DAZN 3 was a small event with little notoriety outside the influencer boxing community, and I believe there is good justification for it's removal.--Jsraynault (talk) 03:03, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable event, but most of the sources are from the same nonreliable website. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 22:56, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Delete this page. Irrelevant and not historically significant. These KSI fans are creating these pages for no reason and littering Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.42.114.132 (talk) 03:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
