Reference 1 is a stat site; 2 is a list of rankings (inaccurate rankings at that, it lists several boxers who retired years ago); 3 is irrelevant; 4 does nothing for notability and mentions a family member more than the subject anyway; 5 looks like it's written by the subject themself--uses "I" a few times, and the article has been republished by various outlets (implying the subject sent it to publishers); and 6 is the subject's blog so is irrelevant to notability. My BEFORE search found nothing of substance in English. Searches in Japanese seemed much of the same, but I had to use Google translate so could have missed some strong sources. Looks like an attempt at self-promotion by the subject (who has apparently created or substantially edited the article), failing GNG. – 2. O. Boxing 11:33, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete There definitely appears to be COI issues with this article. More important, however, are the facts that he appears to fail both WP:NBOX and WP:GNG. Rankings by any of the many minor boxing organizations fail to show WP notability. Articles about these rankings, visiting his uncle's grave, database entries, or his personal blog do not show the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG. He also inherits no WP notability for his uncle having been a notable boxer. Papaursa ( talk) 19:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Major SPA, COI issues, dubious notability, it has been edited by bad faith/unsourced/COI editors so much that its honestly hard to know where to start when removing bad content. — FenrisAureus ▲ (she/they) ( talk) 20:59, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
