Ismail Abdoul

Subject is a boxer who fails WP:NBOX since he's not even ranked in the world top 100. The article has no sources except for a link to his fight record. Papaursa (talk) 22:33, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Abdoul would appear to pass criterion 6 of WP:NBOX by virtue of his 2006 fight against David Haye being televised on Sky Sports, a premium channel. There are also many artices about him found by clicking on the word "news" in the nomination statement, which would suggest a probable pass of the general notability guideline.

 * Delete He's a journeyman fighter who's never come close to a top 10 ranking or major world title fight. With all of his fights, it's not surprising he's mentioned in articles.  However, the coverage I saw was all WP:ROUTINE and that doesn't meet the WP:GNG criteria. Mdtemp (talk) 14:51, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete This is a one sentence article whose sole source is an external link to his fight record at Boxrec.com. My search found no coverage that I think would support WP:GNG. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 14:41, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
