• Australian Kendo Renmei: Japanese swordsmanship, Kendo, Kendo organizations Status April 22: No action taken

• Bikenjutsu: Bujinkan, Genbukan, Jinenkan, Martial arts stubs Status April 22: Redirected to Bujinkan

Merge to Bujinkan or Ninjutsu; currently one line with little info & no sources, Possibly a transwiki.

• Boris Ermolov: American judoka, North American judo biography stubs, United States martial arts biography stubs Status April 9: AFD closed as delete

AFD Can find no independent reliable sources on him. No record of him in the Olympics or winning a world championship. The article's only link doesn't work. Papaursa (talk) 13:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

2nd AfD did a search on the site I found the other two others on & no mention [3] --Nate^t/_c 14:42, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

• Brazilian martial arts: Brazilian martial arts Status March 25: Keep

Keep Currently a dab page but could be expanded later.

• Brian Brewer: American wrestlers Status April 5: PROD closed as delete

AFD No reliable sources or claim of notability. Clearly fails WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 01:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Cast (archery): Archery Status April 22: No action taken

• Cheung Lai Chuen: Chinese martial artists Status March 25: Keep

Keep He is widely regarded as being, as one person put it, "the person who brought kung fu to the secular world." I couldn't find reliable sourcing with a quick look, but his name is so widely mentioned in Chinese martial arts circles that I believe those sources exist. I believe this is another article that needs sourcing, not deletion. Papaursa (talk) 18:21, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Chinese Gung-Fu: The Philosophical Art of Self Defense: Martial arts stubs Status April 22: No action taken

• Crystal Morales: American women boxers Status April 22: No action taken

• Dave Cousins (archer): Archery biography stubs Status March 25: Keep

Keep I can find no mention of his world record at the FITA website, but he has competed at the World Championships. In his event he was 33rd in 2009, 9th at the indoor event in 2007, 18th at the outdoor event in 2005, and 2nd in 2003. At one point he was ranked #1 in the world by FITA. Papaursa (talk) 01:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Dieter Scholz: German judoka Status May 6: AFD closed as delete

Weak AFD I corrected the information in the article. He had 2 good placings in the European judo championships--2nd in 1969 and 3rd in 1970. I don't think that's quite enough to pass WP:Athlete, but others may feel differently. Papaursa (talk) 13:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

• Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO: Eskrima, Martial arts stubs Status April 22: Redirected

AFD Couldn't find reliable sourcing. Papaursa (talk) 01:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• European Championship (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu): Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, Martial arts stubs Status April 22: No action taken

• Eye Iron: Boxing, Boxing stubs Status April 22: No action taken

comment There are many of these for sale, so I suppose they are notable. Would a dictionary definition be better than an article? jmcw (talk) 11:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

• Fight card: Boxing, Boxing stubs Status April 22: No action taken

• Friday Fight Night: Boxing stubs Status April 22: No action taken

• Genbu sotojutsu: Japanese martial arts, Martial arts stubs Status March 26: Speedy delete G12 accepted

Delete I found a blatant copyright violation as I was searching for sources. jmcw (talk) 11:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Afd To Do

• Tactical Hapkido Alliance Status April 27: AFD closed as deleted

Recommendation:AFD Unable to find third party reliable sources about this organization. Papaursa (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

• This article has a serious COI issue. It might squeak by WPMANOTE if everything in the article were true, but the lack of significant coverage by third parties is a problem. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• Tactical hapkido Status April 27: AFD closed as deleted

Recommendation:AFD As discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Martial_arts I was unable to find third party reliable sources about this style. Papaursa (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

• This article has a serious COI issue. It might squeak by WPMANOTE if everything in the article were true, but the lack of significant coverage by third parties is a problem. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

• Barry Rodemaker Status April 27: AFD closed as deleted

Merge all 3 articles then AFD This style is the borderline of notability. jmcw (talk) 15:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Best just do a group AfD then rather than the effort of merging. --Nate^t/_c 16:42, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

• See above.....lot's of COI and little in the way of third party signifigance. I'd support the AfD. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
