Arakan (martial art)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prod contested by article creator--reason for prod was "Non-notable martial art - basically a group advertisement." Sole provided reference was the web site for a training center. I found nothing better to show notability, and the author's reason for contesting the prod was "This page should not be deleted. It relates to a real martial arts system that is currently being taught in both Burma and Australia. The reason there are limited references and citations is because there is no known written history on the system.", which is practically an admission of non-notability. Previously speedied twice for copyvio. -- Finngall  talk  23:36, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I searched for both "arakan" and "Rakhine Thaing" without finding any significant independent coverage of this martial art. I agree with Finngall that "there is no known written history on the system" will make it difficult to show WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 18:38, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as simply all trivial and unconvincing, none of it amounts to actual substance, let alone a convincing article. SwisterTwister   talk  23:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
