Wikipedia is not a fan wiki, and it does not need to cover every single facet of fictional universes. Anything relevant in this article can be covered in either the main Fist of the North Star article, the episodes or the character pages. This is non-notable trivia.

The previous debate resulted in a redirect vote. But the page it was to redirect to is likely going to be deleted itself. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if the redirect target is also deleted, otherwise, re-redirect there. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:06, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is completely unsourced, violates WP:NOTPLOT, fails our notability guideline. I don't see the point of a redirect, as a fighting technique name in japanese is not a likely search term. Besides, the redirect should never have been reverted, that was an obvious violation of consensus.Folken de Fanel (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete trivial trivia of the absolute worst kind. Wikipedia isn't a fansite. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No real world notability to be found. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A fictional martial art without real-world coverage? Not notable. This belongs in a fan wiki, not in a serious encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 05:56, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am copying the content of this page to wikialpha, as it seems to contain information that would be useful to fans, even if it may not be notable by wikipedia standards. Mathewignash (talk) 11:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, provided that sources are found. I found the article to be interesting and informative. Bensci54 (talk) 21:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but that's not really a valid keep reason at all - just because you found an article to be interesting, doesn't make it anything other than a substantial failure of WP:NOTPLOT. It may be a good article for a fan Wiki, but that is WP:NOT what we are for. Lukeno94 (talk) 22:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add as well that there is nothing stopping someone from remaking the article if and when reliable sources are found, here on wikipedia deletion does not have to be forever. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:52, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
