Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts/Article Review/18th March 2010

I put this article up for PROD, but I also notified the author and suggested he might want to merge it into Ssireum. I'd prefer he do the merge since I have no idea what Cheonhajangsa is. Papaursa (talk) 03:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keichu Do: Martial arts by type; Notability Status April 17: AFD closed as delete

AfD. There is one Black Belt magazine article, but apparently nothing else to support notability. Janggeom (talk) 02:02, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFD Lack of reliable sources. The article in Black Belt is by one of Karl Marx's (founder of Keichu Do) students, who later was awarded the title of "Soke" by Marx. Papaursa (talk) 19:59, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can find no third party references, but I've judged tournaments with him and he's well known in certain circles. Papaursa (talk) 16:47, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meir Shahar: Historians of martial arts; Notability Status March 26: Martial Arts Historian category removed

Wrong category He's an Israeli academic who's been studying China, but he does not appear to be a martial arts historian. The only thing he's published (or that his web page says he's working on) related to martial arts is a history of the Shaolin temple. Is it possible to just remove him from the "martial arts historian" category? Papaursa (talk) 14:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nam Yang Pugilistic Association: Martial arts organizations; Notability Status April 19: AFD closed as delete

AfD. I have been unable to find independent and reliable sources so far; does not appear to meet WPMA/N. Janggeom (talk) 02:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of ghits, but I can't find independent sourcing. Repeated claims of being "one of the world's oldest Traditional Chinese Shaolin Temple Martial Arts schools." Seems strange for an organization founded in 1954. Papaursa (talk) 19:59, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

National Krav Maga Federation India: Martial arts stubs; Notability Status April 16: AFD closed as delete

AFD Organization's webpage describes federation president as sole instructor. Don't see how a martial arts school/organization can be considered notable with only one instructor. Papaursa (talk) 19:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Reviews

Category:Years_in_archery [1]

These seem to be a list of categories with a single article: that year archery @ the Olympics, I'd suggest the lot for CfD --Nate ^t/_c 12:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leftover

Confederação Brasileira de Jiu-Jitsu Status April 22: Redirected

Merge and Redirect into article on International Federation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They were both founded by Carlos Gracie, Jr. and when you click on the external link for this organization it actually takes you to the IBJJF website. Papaursa (talk) 01:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
