Comment: You don't appear to be getting the clear message now repeated for a third time, and this may be because you are relying on AI.a) You do not remove AFC logging information - it says "Do not remove this line", humans get that message, AI does not.b) You have two drafts, you should only use one. The other draft is here:draft:Nate IsaacmanThat is the draft you need to work on. It too is AI driven. It has sufficient sources for notability but you need a human being to rewrite the draft, based on the sources, not use AI to do so.Volunteer resource is in short supply, please read the messages and work on them.

Nate Isaacman (October 14, 1898 – August 22, 1957), also known by the ring names Joe McCabe and Joe Isaacman, was an American professional boxer from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.[1] He was active in regional lightweight and welterweight boxing divisions during the 1910s and 1920s.
Early life
editNate Isaacman was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He was raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where his family resided on Conoy Street. Prior to and during the early stages of his boxing career, he was employed locally as a railroad laborer for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Boxing career
editIsaacman competed primarily in Pennsylvania and regional East Coast venues, securing 35 wins across 55 professional bouts.[1] In April 1919, his bout against Bobby Williams was covered by regional media.[2]
Fighting under his ring name Joe McCabe,[3] Isaacman faced several world-class opponents of the 1920s. In February 1923, he defeated veteran contender Tim Droney via a newspaper decision,[4] followed by a decision victory in Altoona the next month.[5] During this peak period of his career, he also fought a draw against world-ranked contender Harry "Kid" Brown and faced future World Welterweight Champion Joe Dundee.[1]
In the mid-1920s, Isaacman took over operations of the Frank Erne Club, a boxing physical culture facility located on North Queen Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, using it for training local fighters while continuing his active career.[6] The venue was subsequently known in regional athletic circles as the Joe McCabe Gym.[7]
