Keep per my and other arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammad Ali vs. Oscar Bonavena. Give the well-sourced stub a chance. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 22:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Excellent sourcing. The article is only just begun, but already the sources are there for a full expansion. Please see the arguments deployed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammad Ali vs. Oscar Bonavena. Spicemix (talk) 19:37, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. Article is short but impeccably sourced and it's one of the 61 fights participated in by one of the most notable boxers in all of history. Only the most pedantic reading of WP:EVENT could possibly exclude a Muhammad Ali fight. A Train^talk 16:39, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
