This is a very poor an unencyclopedic article. It is very promotional. Poor refs -- all are Russian. And why does the table in the article contain cryllic?? WP:TNT. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 19:30, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete I didn't analyze the sources but since the article is just two lists it appears there is no wp:notability-suitable coverage. North8000 (talk) 12:15, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per nom --Devokewater @ 09:35, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
• Keep - very poorly constructed article but on a notable company who are one of the leaders of global boxing. Requires significant improvement but the material is there. HuntGroup (talk) 19:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
• {{ping|HuntGroup}}, any proof for "one of the leaders of global boxing"? [https://www.forbes.ru/forbeslife/sport-i-zdorove/325381-bitvy-patriotov-kto-ustraivaet-boi-professionalnykh-russkikh-bokse Forbes Russia] calls it "largest [boxing] promotion company in Russia, almost monopoly", but also it is written as if World of Boxing is rather second-rate worldwide, without explicitly saying it.

• Keep. The nominator says "Poor refs -- all are Russian"; this is explicitly counter to WP:GNG, which says that sources do not have to be in English. I don't speak Russian either, but I used Google Translate, and the coverage appears to be significant. The first reference is for an article titled "[https://www.sovsport.ru/boxing/articles/2:872896-mir-boksa-pod-arestom:-nalogovaya-slujba-zablokirovala-scheta-promouterskoy-kompanii World of Boxing under arrest: the tax service has blocked the accounts of the promotion company]" from Sovsport.ru, the second is "[https://www.rbc.ru/magazine/2016/07/5784ffc39a7947ed3764d592 Money in the ring: Is it possible to earn money in boxing in Russia]" focuses on the World of Boxing founder from RBC.ru. Personally, I'm not familiar with those sources and I don't know if they're reliable, but neither the nominator or the delete voters have bothered to explain why we shouldn't consider them acceptable sources. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

• The above sources are reputable: Sovetsky Sport and RBK Group. Namerst (talk) 12:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
• Abstain from voting. There are [https://www.forbes.ru/forbeslife/sport-i-zdorove/325381-bitvy-patriotov-kto-ustraivaet-boi-professionalnykh-russkikh-bokse Forbes Russia] (a paragraph about World of Boxing) and [https://www.rbc.ru/magazine/2016/07/5784ffc39a7947ed3764d592 RBK] (whole article; it's RBK Group), it's more or less everything for WP:ORG, the rest is either news about fights organized by World of Boxing or news about corruption scandals, and both type do not give notability by WP:INHERITORG. But the Forbes Russian calls it "largest [boxing] promotion company in Russia, almost monopoly", if it is any valuable. Wikisaurus (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
