Oken Jeet Sandham[edit]

Page looks like it was previously prodded for not having any references. The sources now do not meet WP:RS and there is no significant coverage of the topic. There are some passing mentions but nothing that goes into any depth about him. Looks like the article could still be "under construction," but this could have been addressed during the prod so I am taking it here for discussion.

I am also nominating the following related pages because it essentially duplicates the above with no added value:

Delete I can't see real notability. Being the first Indian on the council doesn't mean much - how many other members were non-Thai? The creator has just been blocked for a username problem, so might not appear here unless a request for unblock and rename is made. I'm trying to decide if their userpage is promotional or not.

Hmm. Could be autobio. An deleted article under the title Nepsonline was actually about Sandham. The userpage is about Nepsonline. Peridon (talk) 15:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ delete. I'm not entirely uncomfortable simply because there doesn't seem to be a specific guideline for practicioners of karate or muay thai. If we draw an analogy to WP:NBOX, the subject doesn't seem to make the cut. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:02, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see significant coverage of this person and he doesn't meet the martial arts notability guidelines at WP:MANOTE. The second article under discussion fails to show notability since it also lacks significant independent coverage--the only independent source is simply reporting results.

Well I'll be damned, there IS a guideline for the notability of martial artists. Forget the weak delete, I can support a full on, screaming delete. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:51, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
