The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was keep. Arguments for deleting this article centre on the subject's supposed lack of significance, concerns over promotionalism, and the amateur and fairly out-of-the-blue nature of this fight. Keep !votes hinge on the coverage of this subject in reliable sources. These sources are not of the sort that can be dismissed out of hand, but those arguing for deletion have not convincingly demonstrated why they should not count towards meeting
WP:GNG; indeed there generally isn't much engagement with the sources among the "delete" !votes. As such, no outcome other than keeping this is possible here.

It may be kept, but it certainly should not be a speedy keep.
WP:NEVENT says routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, speculative coverage, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article; individual sports events are generally not notable. If there were a good redirect target, I would suggest that; but the
WP:XY problem makes it difficult to redirect to either person's article. I also note the sources describe this as "deeply embarrassing" and "may be scrapped".

Delete Fight for a non-existent title, and this article tells us nothing about whether this is a sanctioned fight. The previous fight was completely non-notable, and unless something ghastly happens here, this seems like it'll be a one-day media distraction for fans of the two YouTubers and nobody else. This information is better off in the subject's individual articles than it is in its own article (and this is also a
WP:TOOSOON case where the fight can still be called off for a number of reasons). Nate•(

Delete per nom. I guess my links just prove the noms point. "I also note the sources describe this as 'deeply embarrassing' and 'may be scrapped'." Not much shows that the fight is notable, if anything at all.

delete - I can see how this could provide some pop interest, but the boxers aren't professional (I'm aware this is also true at the Olympics). The first match wasn't notable, either. Even if kept, I'm not sure the title of the article is suitible. Lee Vilenski(

Comment At least at the Olympics there's a goal at the end and a basic structure of rules and referees (same for the
Golden Gloves). Here, we don't know the sanctioning body and if the refs have ever judged a fight. Nate•(

Keep - sufficient sources provided discussing the fight to pass
GNG. The point that the fight is described as "deeply embarrassing" is irrelevant; GNG only requires coverage, not positivity.

Keep easily more than enough coverage to pass the general notability guidelines.

Keep - News sources are talking about the fight in the mainstream media and as such outlets are covering the fight, it would only be fair to suggest keeping the page up. See

Strong Keep due to recent involvement between the two that has attracted millions of viewers worth of attention on KSI's channel, Logan Paul's channel, other Celeb channels (e.g. PewDiePie) in addition to countless YouTube news channels and even some Mainstream Media. Currently, this page reaches 2,500 daily views without fail (possibly due to deletion nomination, but still is a ton for a deletion nomination page–those usually just get 100 daily) and sometimes passes 3,000 making it relevant enough to keep. This definitely needs a 2nd deletion nomination after the drama between the two dies down someday and this page becomes irrelevant.

*Keep Mainstream media coverage aswell as thousands of tickets being sold at one of the UK's largest arenas. [1]User:TheMasterGuru

RoySmith:WP:10YT isn't a reason to delete, if anything, it seems a reason to keep for the time being and see how coverage develops after the event: "Just wait and see...Editors writing today do not have a historical perspective on today's events, and should not pretend to have a crystal ball." The essay 10YT is a part of even cautions against using it as a reason for deletion, from the first section of
WP:RECENTISM: "Over-use of recent material does not by itself mean that an article should be deleted...". The essay is about how to cover notable recent events, not determining the notability of an event.

Keep — Struck previous comment for this updated one. Mainstream media coverage (from sources such as BBC and Sky News) as well as thousands of tickets being sold at one of the UK's largest arenas. Also expecting this fight to break multiple armature boxing ticket sales (which are expected to sell out the venue with 21,000 ticket sales[2]) and views and maybe even break boxing pay-per-view numbers. In addition, multiple professional boxing personalities are involved and have taken interest. In addition to the over 50,000 page views this page has received in the past week and promises to be much higher come fight night. More than enough to pass GNG.[3][4]TheMasterGuru (

Delete This event has no true relevance on impact of the world itself. You can argue that cartoon wikis are on here but my expectetion is that they're notable characters within the cartoon that has a impact on the world itself. This boxing tournement has no real prize at the end of it making it a random boxing match for no true goal. You may claim that the winner gets fame but it's true but not a real prize in the boxing match. — Preceding
