Re this edit: I don't understand what's wrong with the link to Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame. Removing redlinks also removes any ability to determine how popular a potential new article on the topic might be, and where it might best be linked. And I also don't understand why the newspaper article is sufficient citation for all of the other claims in the article, but not for the world ranking. PowersT 13:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Replace the redline if you wish but I don't think, based on other hall of fame articles, that Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame will ever be notable enough for an article. Any notability this subject has comes from being ranked fifth in the world. I looked at his boxing record and there were no fights of any note (i.e. championships) so I don't know where the claim comes from. A claim in a local interest piece is not enough but now I see you have found a corroborative claim. That is what I was after.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
