User:RedearthWildman/Master of Defence

Okay, so I didn't have internet access for a few days, and this page was deleted. I'll be re-typing the description in a little while; please be patient. I'd... Just quickly like to point out that I actually am Adam Sheridan (the meaning of my name is 'Man of the Red Earth, Wild Man; hence RedearthWildman) and that I do, in fact, hold this qualification. Well then, here are the comments which apparently led to the deletion of this article:

-

"I can't find any sources that demonstrate this program is notable. Most of the hits I find relate to a video game with a similar name or this book. If someone more familiar with martial arts could find some third party sources, I might change my mind."

- I was not aware of either this book or game, but yes, I can see why you'd doubt it if those are the hits that come up. There were no hits I could find to it online... Which is why I thought I ought to start this Article.

- Third party sources..? I'm actually the guy who completed this qualification, so I can possibly help there.

-

"Maybe the organization thar gives out the degree is notable, but I don't think the degree itself is."

- This is not a degree qualification, it simply shares the first word of a type of postgraduate degree. This is a 'Master's Proficiency' qualification; similar to the awarding of a 'Master's Belt' in any given Martial Arts form.

- Not sure how you're using the term 'notable', but to me, it means 'important'... This is a VERY DIFFICULT QUALIFICATION TO COMPLETE. If this completion of this qualification is not 'notable', then the only [physical] process which is would be pregnancy & childbirth.

-

"I found no mention of this topic on the organization's web site mentioned in the article and no independent sources that show notability. Article gives no sources."

- This qualification is not listed on the Website; very few qualifications are. This qualification is certified by IMAC (They recognise it), but is a Master's Proficiency [in Martial Arts] Qualification. Consequently, IMAC does NOT govern it.

-

"Looks a bit like spam to me. The organisation appears to be Russian, and has an article on Википедии."

- No, it's not Russian; Nor is it spam. It's my qualification.

- 'Википедии' translates phonetically to 'Vikipedieh' -> 'Wikipedia'.
