 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per the past Afd's statement and the fact the individual has no notable accomplishments outside another more notable martial artist's performance. ALongStay (talk) 00:14, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Being a state karate champion and success as a brown belt do not show notability. The coverage is focused on his second round knockout loss to Joe Lewis. Lewis was the source of the claim (years later) that Baines was considered the top heavyweight in the nation. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE.Mdtemp (talk) 17:13, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Joe Lewis (martial artist) Nothing indicates he should have his own article. Essentially being Lewis's uke in that fight is, at best, WP:BLP1E. There is no significant independent coverage of him besides this fight.  I'd have no problem if this article was deleted, but I think I'll stick with my vote from the original AfD.
