Hello, JTtheOG. I'm ArcticSeeress, and I'll be the one reviewing this nomination. I'll look forward to working with you. ArcticSeeress (talk) 14:03, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[7][8][9][10] - I'd suggest putting these in a single note, e.g. with the efn template.
Benson defeated Connor Law in the finals of the 2014 National Championships - It might be better to introduce this sentence as "At the 2014 National Championships" to to differentiate it better from the previous sentence.
strefa.pl is self-published, and therefore unreliable. Find other sources for the info you cited here, or just remove it entirely.
signed with MTK Scotland - The reader needs more context for what MTK is.
and made his professional debut that September, defeating Kristian Laight on points at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh. - This doesn't have any citations.
After ten straight wins to begin his pro career, - This isn't cited.
Prizefighter 34 winner Johnny Coyle - This isn't cited either.
The Irish Boxing reference is dead.
journeyman Zoltán Szabó - This isn't written in the source. Is this your personal assessment of him? If so, remove it.
Bad Left Hook seems to be a blog and therefore unreliable.
The "Professional boxing record" section needs sources.
The lead needs to more comprehensively summarise the article

Overall, there are some sourcing issues that need sorting out, but these seem easy enough to fix.

Hello! Thanks for taking this on. I've done my best to address the issues raised here. I'm not sure if the way I did the efn note is the best way to smush those sources together; please let me know if you know a better one. Source 17 should now address both the 6th and 7th bullet points. As for the Irish Boxing source, it's working fine for me but I added an archived link for good measure. Lastly, I think the BoxRec source in the infobox adequately covers the pro boxing record, but I'm open to other ways to show that, if you believe them to be more appropriate. Thanks again.

Everything looks good to go. I've gone ahead and added the BoxRec source myself, though the rounds and times weren't actually verified there, so I've removed them. If you can find sources for this information, then you can undo that edit. Everything seems to check out, so pass it is. Good work! ArcticSeeress (talk) 17:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; thanks again for your time. The rounds and times appear on my end. I'm pretty sure you just need a BoxRec account to view that information. Per WP:SOURCEACCESS, it should still count for verifiability. Let me know. Best, JTtheOG (talk) 02:38, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JTtheOG: I created an account, and it's just as you say. I've gone ahead and undone the edit. ArcticSeeress (talk) 20:15, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
