Tim Jones (boxer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

On notability grounds. A limited number of fights with an overwhelming loss record. His only victory was against another boxer with limited experience. That the latter boxer went on to become a significant kickboxer is irrelevant. Peter Rehse (talk) 12:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete Subject clearly fails WP:NBOX. As a boxer, his only claim to notability, he won only 1 of his 11 fights.  Who he fought is irrelevant since notability is not inherited. Papaursa (talk) 19:44, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Notability is not inherited, and if we don't look at the whole "person he fought becomes famous part", there's only one game to back up any notability claims. Buggie111 (talk) 17:41, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - It seems he had a short career and small number of fights and Google News only found three relevant results here (Dennis Alexio fight) and 1988 retirement announcements here and here noting that he was diagnosed with hemophilia and lost sight in his right eye shortly after his retirement. After continuing my search there and Google Books, I found nothing else that was relevant. SwisterTwister   talk  21:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
