Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Johnson (boxer)
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
