World Boxing Federation (organization)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable organisation that fails WP:GNG. The best source I could find in my BEFORE search was this (ref. #2 in the article). The author, Chris Glover, a self-described PR specialist, worked for the organisation (as seen here), making the source unusable for notabilty purposes (regardless, I don't think it's enough for GNG on its own). Regarding the other references: 1 is a primary source 3 is an interview with the president of the World Boxing Foundation 4 is a passing mention 5 doesn't mention the organisation 6 is a list of fights 7 and 8 cover the World Boxing Foundation To clarify the situation between the World Boxing Federation and World Boxing Foundation; the latter was originally known as the World Boxing Federation, rebranded to World Boxing Foundation in 2004, then the current World Boxing Federation was formed in 2009. They're sperate organisations. – 2 . O . Boxing  22:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.
