Toso Kune Do[edit]

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

Completely unreferenced article about a newly formed martial art style that fails WP:MANOTE. No evidence of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. 2 hits on Gnews, the only English one is a mention when talking about the founder. Mostly blogs, discussion forums and non-reliable sources among ghits. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Jason David Frank - It's got a celebrity creator (the original (American) white Power Ranger), which by itself doesn't satisfy any particular criterion, but does seem to have had the result of sparking a fairly substantial internet discussion about the legitimacy or otherwise of the martial art. Frank's an MMA fighter now (here and here) and if the article's not to be kept it should at least be discussed in detail over at Frank's page. If no one's prepared to do the work to merge it, it should be kept.- DustFormsWords (talk) 05:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A merge or redirect is fine with me, but the idea of keeping as a default isn't. If Frank is notable, that is one thing. It doesn't make everything he does notable and worthy of a seperate article. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Toso Kune Do is already mentioned at Jason David Frank. This is another non-notable art "created" by combining different techniques from other styles. I found no reliable sources and it appears to be taught only at Frank's Rising Sun Karate. Notice that even his studio isn't named after the art. Papaursa (talk) 00:02, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a non-notable "hybrid art". JBsupreme (talk) 16:29, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Jason David Frank, or simply redirect--non-notable but a plausible search term. JJL (talk) 04:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
