AfD 20,000 or so google hits, nothing in the first 6 pages from a seemingly reliable source. The article is entirely primary sourced, with the conflicted interest advertising flair throughout the copy that characterizes so many of our MA articles... --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD I don't really have anything against this article except that it just appears to be more like original reserach. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD. For me, the key question is, "Are there sources that describe 'septuple champion' specifically in the context of boxing?" as compared to a generic term applied to any individual who has won something seven times? So far, the answer appears to be no. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD The page is put together fairly well, but the subject doesn't really seem to merit a separate article, IMO. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I removed the notability tag since there's a source for her ISKA world title. Clearly meets WP:ATH. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD. Notability unclear. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Modern Arnis. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure He's the founder of a style, but the style doesn't seem to be widespread. Both the individual and style lack independent sources. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD. Notability unclear. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD. As far as I am aware, 'shoot boxing' refers to a wider concept than what is described in the article. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD Consists of only 27 clubs. Can find no independent sources or notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD I see no notability or sources. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD This looked like a good candidate for a speedy, but one was already denied. I don't see the claim of notability. I got 347 ghits and none of them show notability (or even independent sources). Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I couldn't find good independent sources, but he was well known in karate circles 40 or so years ago. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (and improve). We could always put it up for deletion later, but I have enough of an impression of notability to recommend keeping it for now. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD This appears to be just an ad. No notability, in fact I'm putting it up for CSD-G11. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is the 3rd time this article has been speedied. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'd like to delete this article with no independent sources, but heading an organization as large as the ATA probably makes one notable. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (and improve) if reliable sources can be found. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure There are no independent sources for his martial arts achievements. If true, I'd have to say "Keep". Also not sure about his notability as an kettlebells instructor. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
??? This is a Canadian musician not an American martial artist. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Out of scope. I concur. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
'comment On May 12, there is a move with the comment 'no longer a need to disambiguate'. I infer that the hapikidosit was deleted. jmcw (talk) 08:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I don't think he quite passes WP:MANOTE, but some might. Certainly is not fluff. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD No indication of this art being notable or widespread. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD Already up for PROD. I'd say he fails WP:MANOTE. Only claim to notability is founding a non-notable self defense system. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (and improve). Although not an expert on the area, I believe the subject is notable. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD Article is already up for PROD. If that fails, then AfD since I see no notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
AfD. Without having looked in earnest yet, I suspect we will find many more sources referring to the subject (i.e., "the Taekwondo Hall of Fame awarded something to this martial artist") rather than about the subject, as such. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
