Harry Smith (boxer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The only source mentions that a Harry Smith is scheduled to participate in an upcoming fight. Certainly there's no indication of being South African champion or anything that would qualify as notable under WP:NSPORTS. Jakejr (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only claim to notability is being South African champion and that is unsourced. Even if true, he would fail the WP:NSPORTS criteria for boxing. The lack of sources seals the deal. Astudent0 (talk) 19:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only source mentions a South African fighter by that name, but gives no indication he's a champion of anything and gives no other information about him. As Astudent0 said, even being South African champion wouldn't meet the notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 00:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
