Deletion of George Johnson (boxer)

Comment: NBOX is a guideline and not meeting it does not mean an article should be deleted. Numerous well-known boxers, such as Ted Lowry, Elmer Ray or Bob Satterfield do not meet it. I also don't agree with invoking  here. Most notable boxers are so because of fights against other notable boxers. Johnson was a well known heavyweight journeyman of the 60s and 70s, had 54 pro bouts, about a third of which were against boxers from the sport's top echelon. Boxing scribes like Jim Amato have written articles about him.http://www.eastsideboxing.com/weblog/news.php?p=8401&more=1 He participated in televised bouts and received ample newspaper coverage. A google search for him turns up 266,000 matches https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=cr&ei=ZujiUqWJBrCEyAOP5IDACA#q=%22george+scrap+iron+johnson%22. A search of the google news archive gives https://www.google.com/search?q=george+%22scrap+iron%22+johnson+site:news.google.com%2Fnewspapers 230 results. How much coverage do people require? This seems very stringent since Odessa Grady Clay|Muhammad Ali's mom has survived two deletion discussions!  —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: Fails .  Most of the coverage is routine sports reporting and if losing most of your fights is enough to get you into the California boxing hall of fame, it's not very selective.  Fighting notable fighters falls under

Comment: Doesn't meet .  GNG is not met by routine sports coverage of his 50 fights--of course there would be coverage of them, especially if he's fighting notable opponents, but that doesn't mean there's significant independent coverage of him.  It's clearly established that martial arts halls of fame do not signify notability (and boxing is a martial art) and notability is not gained by fighting notable fighters since notability is not inherited.Special:Contributions/204.126.132.231|204.126.132.231
