PROD removed with the basis that the word "martial artist" was used instead of "boxer", but this is because the notability is still closely linked, they also cite that he's a journalist, which he's not only not notable for, that has no bearing for an article at all simply by that. I still confirm the PROD as I noted he's not notable for any of the applicable notabilities, and the best claims here are that he played with a team that competes for the Olympics, but the article clearly never states any of this.

 * Delete Does not meet any notability criteria. Published his first novel last year - article reads like a promo piece.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:53, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, does read like a promo piece and I don't see where his first novel has sold or been reviewed on a level to meet notability guidelines at this time. Kierzek (talk) 16:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not seeing evidence of notability.
 * Fails WP:ATHLETE as a boxer (both pro WP:NBOX and amateur WP:NCOLLATH). The college All American and military Golden Gloves boxing claims are interesting but are poorly sourced. Even if the All-American claim were properly sourced, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania is only an NCAA Division II school so All-American there does not seem sufficient for notability. Similarly the military Golden Gloves claim is not properly sourced, and does not appear to be notable. Golden Gloves states that the term is also used for lesser titles than the National Golden Gloves, and Maley does not appear on the lists of Nation Golden Gloves champions.
 * Fails WP:SOLDIER.
 * Fails WP:CREATIVE as an author and as a journalist. According to http://thebradentontimes.com/bio-dennis-maley-p16665-158.htm he was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in the editorial writing category in 2012, but http://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-category/214 shows that the Editorial Writing prize was not awarded that year, and Maley does not appear as a nominee that year (or any other year).

 * Forgot to mention that I found a source on the the Olympic Trials. He did compete at the Olympic Trials but did not make the Olympics. Nothing notable there. Meters (talk) 20:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete My search didn't find the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG. In addition, I didn't find anything that shows any SNG is met.  His Golden Gloves title must have been local because he's not listed among the national champions at the Golden Gloves website.  There is insufficient coverage of his book to support a claim he meets WP:NAUTHOR. Papaursa (talk) 00:35, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
