Alan Thilak Karate School

Notability. There is nothing to suggest this is anything more then a random martial arts school in India. G-search reveals no secondary source coverage (that I could find at least). Author claims that the school has produced some champions but doesn't cite any sources, and as we all know notability isn't inherited anyway. Buddy23Lee (talk) 23:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I did find a write-up of the school in The Hindu . Not sure how significant the coverage has to be for a karate school, but this one has been covered more than most.  Them From  Space  01:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Medium delete Notability is questionable. It seems more like a promotion, an advertisement of this karate club. The pronoun "we" and "ours" have been use. Moreover, this sentence justifies why I say its like a promotion :"Since Alan Thilak Karate School teaches modern sports karate(non contact with safety equipments) none of the children get injured during training or competition. A few of our champions have been absorbed in Medical and Engineering colleges". Based on some claims of notability (that we can barely verify), I think that it praises how good this school is in order to attract more students via Wikipedia.

 * Delete but permit re-writing. As it stands, it almost fits into G11, promotional. I'd suggest first finding some sources, and then, starting over--and by someone not connected with the school.   DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Insignificant coverage.
