I found no significant coverage of this individual. Only database coverage and such. This is not enough to pass GNG, which is a requirement under the sports SNG. Plus as a non-medalists at the Olympics he does not pass the inclusion criteria for Olympians either. I did find indcations there is I beleive a contemporary (ie alive now) musician with the same name, and there is an actor with this same name born in 1905, so there is no reason to think this would be the person people are searching for when they type in this name, so a redirect is not justified.

- The sourcing here still does not rise to the level of passing GNG, which is the minimum to keep articles. The sourcing is clearly not multiple sources that are indepdent of each other that provide indepth coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm not sure how competitive the Finnish championships were but a European medal shows sufficient significance and our encyclopedia would be worse if this got deleted. --Michig (talk) 19:48, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- You are still not addressing the adequacy of sources at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:22, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Plenty of hits searching the Finnish Newspaper Archive for the name (link to search, UI language can be changed from the top-right corner), but mostly in the Swedish language papers. Perhaps someone with better Swedish than mine can check them out. A ton more hits for what is essentially surname + "boxer" + "boxing" in Finnish ([1]). Unfortunately I don't have the time to assess these for depth of coverage at this point. -Ljleppan (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I read Swedish. I was able to commence an expansion of the article, where the sources are plentiful to say the least. Significant coverage of a boxer would of course be articles focused on Huuskonen, describing how he boxed, style, etc. Bear in mind Swedish is the minority language of Finland, and the coverage in Finnish (which I don't understand at all, and the pdfs can't be machine translated) is many times larger. I will sift through the hits for coverage on his later life etc, but keep for now. Geschichte (talk) 13:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily passes WP:NBOX. There is not even a debate. --Donniediamond (talk) 14:07, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
