Hui martial arts[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is misleading. The name suggests that there'd be a thing called "Hui martial arts" - just like there are Chinese martial arts - but in reality, there isn't. Instead, the article is a largely unreferenced mishmash of various Chinese martial arts with a few famous Hui practitioners. For example, the following sentence (with probably the only references in the article) goes: "Famous Hui practitioners of Piguaquan today include Ma Xianda", then followed by 16 references. We sure could try renaming the article "Chinese martial arts with some famous Hui practitioners", but I don't think that would be wise.

The article was created at 26 October, 2006. Ever since February 2007 the article has been tagged with a {{Refimprove}} template, and since June 2011 with a {{Synthesis}} template. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources are about individual martial artists. I don't see any significant coverage on the actual topic of the article. Astudent0 (talk) 14:49, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with nominator, "Hui marital arts" do not exist and not covered in any RS. Meatsgains (talk) 23:33, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
