Delete I found nothing that shows he meets the notability criteria for either an author or a martial artist. The article also lacks independent sources. Astudent0 (talk) 17:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ The article has links to reputable martial arts publications which justify significance in that field. There are also reliable national UK publications cited. Pwjdawson (talk) 23:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ To substantiate the author's credibility, this topic has references to the author's published works as well as independant coverage in the UK media. Pwjdawson (talk) 23:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article includes reliable, third party and independent sources. Pwjdawson (talk) 23:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Please also consider "notable students" as a justification of the subjects own notability. Pwjdawson (talk) 23:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please just vote once and don't list the same reason repeatedly. Since you're new to WP, you might want to check the notability requirements in general (WP:GNG), for authors (WP:AUTHOR), and for martial artists (WP:MANOTE).

Delete I found nothing that shows he meets any of the notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
