Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Larry Givens
I have no problems with a Wikipedia article on such a boxer but Larry Givens does not fulfill the requirements of |notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people). His record is mediocre but I can't find any independent verification (apart from the google hits on his record and Wikipedia itself) that he was remarkably bad enough to be notable. In fact, several boxers listed in Tomato Can has even worse records than Givens. Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards|Eddie Edwards and Maurice Flitcroft all have notable articles about them in prestigious reliable sources that fulfills  requirements - I cannot find any such sources for Larry Givens - failing . He is not "bad" enough to be notable so to speak. The amended article then goes on to call him a Tomato Can - an un-sourced insulting term failing . The article fails a lot of Wikipedia policies as to be a borderline attack article
