P. J. Gallagher (boxer)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Poorly sourced biography of a living person. Notability per WP:ATHLETE seems questionable. Main contributor might be in a conflict of interest. bender235 (talk) 18:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - the article certainly needs a lot of work, but isn't it claiming that Gallagher was the WBC International Super Featherweight Champion in 1996? (seems to be backed up here), and so doesn't he meet ATHLETE criterion # 1? I'm asking so tentatively because I really know nothing about boxing, but he looks fairly notable to me. WP:COI may be a problem, but is not a reason to delete. -- Beloved Freak  20:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If he won the World Championship, he is notable. But that claim is unsourced. The entire article is basically w/out any references. --bender235 (talk) 20:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Verified that he meets the boxing criteria set out at WP:NSPORTS. Jenks24 (talk) 11:45, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
