U.S. Yoshukai Karate

Notability seems doubtable; article tagged so since June 2007. Some users commented on the talk page that the topic is notable, but independent sources are still missing. In particular it's unclear why this warrants a separate article from Yoshukai karate. B. Wolterding (talk) 21:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP (in strongest possible terms)The subject of this article definitely is notable. There are two major Yoshukai Karate Associations in the United States; this is one of them. To delete this article would be an act born of ignorance of the history of Yoshukai karate and of the importance of this style in the lineage handed down from Chitose Senei.

Could you give some independent sources in order to show that the subject meets our notability guidelines? --B. Wolterding (talk) 08:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I added the initial tag, unless sources are added very soon it needs to go, it's been tagged for 6 months.--Nate1481(^t/_c) 10:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. No sources listed and the lead indicates that this is a regional group (southeast US). While regionality (is that a word?) doesn't necessarily mean non-notable, it doesn't help either. Maybe the info could be merged to Yoshukai karate?Tnxman307 (talk) 14:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable in the current state, although may be proved notable after further information/sources digging. Tnxman307's suggestion to save part of the info in Yoshukai karate makes sense! Pundit|utter 21:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:CORP and WP:N in current state, needs secondary sources. --Captain-tucker (talk) 00:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
