Johnny Greaves (boxer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable boxer. Being a "prolific journeyman" doesn't make him notable, nor does winning just 4 of his 100 fights. Jakejr (talk) 19:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Clearly his boxing record doesn't make him notable. Being the subject of a documentary supports notability, but nowadays it seems anyone can make a video and get it aired (an exaggeration, but not without some basis). If the documentary can be shown to be notable, I would say Greaves is notable. Papaursa (talk) 02:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Lacks the coverage needed to meet WP:GNG and fails to meet WP:NBOX. Mdtemp (talk) 17:01, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in The Independent, BBC Sport and The Guardian. A chapter in this book is dedicated to his career, which the author also wrote about in The Daily Telegraph, as is the aforementioned documentary film - as part of a BT Sport film series. If national coverage in three different formats doesn't meet the notability bar, I'm not really sure what does. Fuebaey (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Sufficiently well known and with enough coverage to justify an article. --Michig (talk) 06:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Sources have been added to show the subject meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 20:08, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – Upon a review of the sources presented herein, the subject meets WP:BASIC. North America1000 03:23, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
