Not notable. みんな空の下 (トーク) 08:19, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO which requires "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The one reference in the article is to a June 1996 article in a magazine that can be expected to eventually discuss every martial arts proponent, and cannot be used to establish notability. Searching fails to find other useful mentions. Johnuniq (talk) 08:42, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Please keep this article as I have just updated much of the information and provided outside links to articles written about Brandon Richards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 30brandon (talk • contribs) 09:07, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence in independent sources that subject passes WP:MANOTE. Article also appears to have WP:COI issues. Jakejr (talk) 20:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Tagged 30brandon as possible COI issue. みんな空の下 (トーク) 23:33, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete "Master of Science in Martial Arts" with "Ameristate University". 8 ghits for this - 4 of them mentioning the subject of this article. From its own site (which didn't come up because it's not spelled that way) "Amerstate University is the first Graduate School of Martial Arts in the United States to provide a highly skilled Master of Science-Martial Arts Program." Ah well, 'science' does cover a wide field... Not enough references for the claims. Looks like a CV, and has distinct overtones of CoI. Otherwise, per Johnuniq.

 * Delete due to lack of reliable sources indicating subject meets WP:BIO. -- Kinu t /c  08:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the previous comments about a lack of independent sources and a failure to meet WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 03:49, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete following the comments above. Janggeom (talk) 14:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
