Contested deletion. Article makes no attempt to establish notability. The two references merely show that it exists. Peter Rehse (talk) 00:12, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete My search found nothing that shows this is a notable martial art. The two sources given in the article merely say that there will be a tournament for children--hardly enough to show notability.  There's no question it exists, but right now I see nothing to support claims of notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep . With a little research I found out that the Bashap Association is registered with the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Bangladesh, is a member of Bangladesh Olympic Association and World Ogju-Ryu Karate Association. Apparently it is practiced in India and has prominent practitioners in Manipur. Doesn't look non-notable at all, not by Wikiepedia standards. Aditya (talk • contribs) 04:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It would certainly help if these references were included in the article and used to make a case for notability but even they would not be enough IMHO. The art exists, it is registered by the government (Olympic link points to the government site) and some karate organization - so what about it makes it notable?  Perhaps some attempt should be made for a re-write but it really looks like this was nothing more than a slap and dash entry.Peter Rehse (talk) 06:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, the Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) lists the Bangladesh Bashap Association under organizations "yet to be Affiliated with BOA" at their website . In addition, I don't think the other things show the art is notable--a team of 10 Indian practitioners doesn't do it and I don't see the relationship between bashap and a Maniput thang-ta expert.

 * Delete I found nothing to support notability claims. I didn't find good sources or anything that shows this art is notable. Astudent0 (talk) 17:41, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have reviewed my argument and I guess I was wrong. "Yet to be affiliated" and a Bashap mixed up with Thangta is no good. Delete then. No claim validated. Aditya (talk • contribs) 03:28, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
