 * As I am not an enthusiast of martial arts sports or boxing, I cannot comment on the first two guidelines, but I would like a more detailed explanation on how this athlete of considerable national importance (in terms of Latvian sport) breaches WP:GNG. Ivario (talk) 09:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * KEEP - He held multiple WKN titles, which the Kickboxing Project cites as being notable (just competing on a WKN show makes you) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_arts/Kickboxing_task_force#Notability and he did a Nike commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDapU5aXgE0.He also has a nice amount of Google News articles about him - https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Zaurs+D%C5%BEavadovs%22&client=firefox-b-1-d&tbm=nws&ei=ENP_Y-jPGPvl5NoPhuu9oA8&start=10&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjol9SS5bv9AhX7MlkFHYZ1D_QQ8NMDegQIBBAI&biw=1920&bih=955&dpr=1 KatoKungLee (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I see no place where it says just competing on a WKN card shows notability. The existing notability criteria for kickboxers is WP:NKICK.  Appearing in a commercial is also not a notability criteria.  I haven't done the research to make an informed vote on notability. Papaursa (talk) 13:43, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. The kickboxing project is not a guideline and is thus irrelevant. What matters is GNG. is a primary blow-by-blow fight summary that was written by his PR rep Janis Eisaks, ❌.  is another primary fight recap with little secondary content, ❌.  is six sentences of mostly routine fight results, ❌.  is an interview, and almost everything that isn't in quotes is still non-independent, e.g. "Džavadovs reveals" or "Džavadovs found", rather than analysis by the author, ❌.  is a write-up on his wedding with an unclear amount of info provided directly from Janis Eisaks...  is another fight recap from Eisaks, ❌.

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Any WP:LOCALCONSENSUS on the Kickboxing Project is irrelevant as it cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. Alvaldi (talk) 20:18, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete He's had some success as a kickboxer, but not enough to meet WP:NKICK. The other day I went through the history of Combat Press's world kickboxing rankings and did not see him mentioned once.  The references seem to be routine sports results and nothing that would support a claim of meeting WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 21:40, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
