This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Boxing. It is one of many
deletion lists coordinated by
WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Boxing|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few
scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by
a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (
prod,
CfD,
TfD etc.) related to Boxing.
Further information

With only primary sources listed, this article clearly fails
WP:NBOX and
WP:GNG. My Google searches came up with
Peter Baláž (Esperantist) and a
motorcycle driver, both of which are Slovak, but nothing about a boxer with the same birth name. I can't see this article lasting longer-term on Wikipedia.

Keep, subject was the starring role in a movie about himself (
Goat (2015 film)), and his involvement was covered by such outlets as The Hollywood Reporter[1]. I'm thankful for the nomination because it gives us a chance to improve the article, although I think the nominator did not do
WP:BEFORE by looking up the actor's name with the movie's name (Koza) and addressing those sources. --

I AM the nominator. Sure, not everyone has the same Google search results.

Keep, per the excellent find by Habst. A movie about the subject!

Comment Just to be clear, the movie is fiction, about a fictional Olympic champion. This article is about a fighter who badly lost his only Olympic fight in the round of 32. Boxrec shows he won 3 of his 57 pro fights.
[2] He's not notable as a boxer, but feel free to debate his notability as an actor.

Delete. Does not meet
WP:GNG,
WP:NBOX,
WP:NOLY as a non-medaling Olympian, or
WP:NACTOR, having only starred in one film. As Papaursa noted, the film is not about him.
