Nominated after discussion at Martial Arts project. Fails WP:ORG and WP:MANOTE 2 gbook returns, only 1 provides a paragraph of coverage and it's almost word for word from their website. 7 gnews hits, all are mentions and not coverage of the org itself. Most of the 11K ghits are mentions or non-RS sources. It exists. It is possibly big, but big doesn't mean notable. Not seeing much actual (or significant) coverage of the organization itself.

Delete I can find no independent reliable sourcing about this organization. All of the mentions seem to be of schools associated with the IBBF or speak of awards from the IBBF. I couldn't even verify that they're associated with the WTF. The WTF page says the U.S. member national association is USA Taekwondo, Inc. When I go to their web page I can find no mention of the IBBF. Papaursa (talk) 19:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete possibly a merge to World Taekwondo Federation but not much info. --Nate ^t/_c 09:13, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I have so far been unable to find any substantial and reliable information on this organisation. Janggeom (talk) 03:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
