• Keep professional athletes. Pburka 16:23, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
• DELETE Unless: Can you find any more information on this guy in anywhere? I did find [1], but I would like to see more. The article at least needs to be CLEANED-UP, Wikified, and some of the information needs sources, or its POV. WikiDon 21:10, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • What additional information do you have in mind? You found his boxing record; some of that information should be incorporated into the article. Since he lived a hundred years ago it is likely that much more information is available in print sources than on the internet. As it is, this article is a good stub with room for expansion.

• Keep and Expand as professional boxer who fought at Madison Square Gardens. There should be more info about his fights. Capitalistroadster 00:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--This was my grandfather and this is all the info. I have on him. I am the source of all info. on Sammy Sieger.
• keep please there is probably more info on him since he is a professional fighter Yuckfoo 06:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I don't agree that everyone who ever worked in some profession is automatically notaable; that is absurd. Appears to be a obit, and Wikipedia is not a memorial.---CH (talk) 07:11, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, definitely needs to WP:CITE its sources or it will likely be relisted. Hall Monitor 20:29, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO. This is in fact an example of what we're discussing as a possible candidate for speedy deletion under guideline A7. The only assertion of notability is "was a talented featherweight boxer". There's no indication that he ever was any sanctioning body's national champion, or that he got nationwide news coverage, or once defeated someone as famous as Jack Johnson, or anything else that would qualify. Obviously the Google test is unlikely to be relevant for a 1920s boxer, but he needs to appear in some history-of-boxing books or something other verifiable authoritative sources; otherwise he just wasn't sufficiently notable.

• keep I Say Keep....for personal Reasons....the 3 grandchildren he never knew were Christopher, Alan and Robert...I know this because I am Christopher, and sadly, am almost totally devoid of any family history. Any questions or comments please send to taxmeister@aol.com
