Jonathan Oakey
Notability has been repeatedly claimed, but not established, as none of the "references" provided are verifiable - no mention on Google. Technopat (talk) 05:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC) In reality Mr Oakey is now finely established in the boxing world, I'm just struggling to find strong references, I'm guessing because of the young age. As one of his promoters, I know myself of his achievements, so am working hard for him to be verified. Please note I am meeting with his manager tomorrow, so should come back with something good. I also believe Jonathan Oakey fills the criteria for WP:ATH, as he is a recognised professional in the boxing world, and also has reached the highest level of amateur boxing possible before reaching the age of recieving a professional contract. Thanks people. Mastafashh (talk) 15:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please check article history. I first used Prod and then proposed an A7 speedy delete. Both were removed. --Technopat (talk) 05:46, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - while there appears to be a credible claim of importance, I can not verify any of the information in the article. I can not find a single reference that even mentions a professional boxer named Jonathan Oakey.   GB fan  talk 09:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've declined the speedy on this one on the grounds that the Yorkshire Evening Post was cited, despite the fact the article is not available online. However, there doesn't seem to be anything else. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 13:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm currently looking for credible references, so would hate for this to be deleted.
