Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Larry Givens
No doubt its his record is bad, but the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is '''verifiability, not truth.'''- from Wikipedia:Verifiability: ''"Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.'' Calling him a Tomato Can without an independent |reliable citation backing it up based on a simple boxing record is simply |originial research on your part. It also stomps all over Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy. I cannot find any independent reliable source that cites him as a boxer exceptionally bad enough to warrant an article in Wikipedia
