Doesn't appear to meet any notability criteria for martial artists and there's a lack of any significant independent coverage in reliable sources.Mdtemp (talk) 19:39, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None of these references show significant independent coverage of him. They are all passing mentions of him when talking about other fighters plus one article in a local paper saying he would be giving a seminar. None of these show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 17:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I seeing passing mentions, but nothing close to meeting WP:GNG and he doesn't appear to have been a notable kickboxer (as defined by WP:KICK). Papaursa (talk) 20:04, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A few passing mentions are not enough to prove notability. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:58, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seems to have some local notability. Was the article creator notified? In ictu oculi (talk) 05:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment yes I was notified I thought that the references were good enough to establish notability and appearing in Batman was enough to establish notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 00:01, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete "Some local notability" is not grounds for keeping an article. There is no significant coverage that shows he meets GNG and nothing to show he's notable as a martial artist. Jakejr (talk) 00:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see the coverage required to meet WP:GNG and he definitely doesn't meet WP:KICK. Astudent0 (talk) 19:47, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG, fails WP:BIO. I support the comments of Mdtemp, Papaursa and Jakejr. --Bejnar (talk) 05:45, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
