Speedy Delete as blatant copyvio. Wondering why this one wasn't just marked for speedy deletion in the first place, too. Imban (talk) 11:36, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I did this page (did not write the text) because Master Huynh Chieu Duong asked me to do so. The source (website http://www.thuyphap.be/EN/welcome) was written by Master Huynh Chieu Duong himself as he is historian of Vietnamese Martial arts (beside of being martial art master). Now that Thuy Phap is officially member of Vo Co Truyen Federation (http://www.vocotruyen-france.fr/index.php/fr/ecoles), we thought that a Wikipedia page has to be written about Thuy Phap. I can make a link to Thuy Phap website if you think it will avoid confusions about copyright, I just felt uncomfortable linking a source to its own source. I'm really new with Wikipedia (as author not user) and I've been working on the french version last month, but if I have to make some corrections or references to this one, I'll find time to do it.

You might want to read the guidelines at WP:N and WP:RS. Writing articles about yourself or your organization is usually not a good idea. Papaursa (talk) 01:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Following a quick discussion at WP:CP, I have blanked the article for investigation of the potential copyright problem. If, as it appears from the comment above, permission might be granted to use the copyright text, then this avenue will need to be explored. That should not interfere with the notability issue.--CharlieDelta (talk) 20:25, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I found nothing in English to show this art is notable. Much of the article is a history and description of Vietnam and has nothing to do with the subject. The only two sources in the article were references to movies so there's no support for any claims of notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
