The article has no supported claims of notability nor did I find any. I don't believe being a trainer satisfies any notability criteria and the only source for the many TKD championships he claimed was his web page. There is no mention of him at the World Taekwondo Federation site nor at the list of national and international fighters and results at http://www.taekwondodata.com/home.html.

 * Keep per WP:MMA. --The Bachmann Editor Overdrive (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Can you explain what the MMA WikiProject has to do with someone who has nothing to do with MMA? The subject of the article up for deletion is a golf coach and Tae Kwon Do instructor.  Your !vote looks like WP:JNN as you cited in another AfD.  --TreyGeek (talk) 22:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Apologies.  You are right.  It should be MA in this case as well.  I am just getting frustrated seeing nothing but deletes from some of these accounts across all these MA and MMA articles. I logged on today to start some articles on two of the most famous Lousianans about whom full length books have been written.  I like to write my edits off site in Word first,then log on and add them without having to make a bunch of edits.   Anyway, I saw on my talk page a request to come to an AFD.  Then I checked the sorting and I swear you got the same handful of accounts practically copying and pasting the same delete votes indiscriminately.  It is just irritating.  --The Bachmann Editor Overdrive (talk) 22:47, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I know you vote keep for everything, but it would be better if you actually looked at what the articles were about first. Unless, of course, you feel every TKD instructor and conditioning coach is automatically notable. Papaursa (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete The article has no independent sources that mention his name. Being a golf strength coach isn't notable and the fact he's not listed on a TKD website that lists 22,000+ TKD fighters makes his multiple TKD world championship claims very suspect. Astudent0 (talk) 17:30, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to have no notability as a fighter or as a fitness coach. I found nothing in any independent sources to show the subject meets any notability criteria nor did I find significant independent coverage of him.  The article's link to the local paper didn't even mention him and the only other mention I found in that paper was when I searched for the subject and found that his school would be starting an after-school program--worthwhile perhaps, but hardly the stuff of notability.  The only keep vote comes from a user who apparently didn't even look at the article since he thought it was about MMA. Mdtemp (talk) 22:00, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: User:Mdtemp's edit history consists entirely of spamming MMA related Afds with copy and paste boilerplate votes rather than arguments. The account has made no actual contributions to this website.  It is clearly a single-purpose, disruption-only account and a likely sock or meatpuppet.  --63.3.19.130 (talk) 01:43, 16 March 2012 (UTC) - striking per Sockpuppet_investigations/63.3.19.129 Dennis Brown (talk) 00:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * His responses haven't been boilerplate, but yours have. Posting this at every edit he makes could easily be considered stalking/harassing.  In addition, this article isn't even about MMA.  If you think the user is a puppet then submit it to WP:SPI.  Otherwise, quit making the claim. Papaursa (talk) 03:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per sourcing. --63.3.19.129 (talk) 13:06, 17 March 2012 (UTC) - striking per Sockpuppet_investigations/63.3.19.129 Dennis Brown (talk) 00:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean the 2 sources that don't even mention him or the Titleist listing showing he's one of 150 people in Ontario certified by Titleist for golf bio-mechanics? Hardly enough to show significant independent sourcing or notability. Papaursa (talk) 16:00, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Wow Once you get rid of all the confirmed socks, the discussion takes on a very lopsided perspective in all these sports articles. Dennis Brown (talk) 00:29, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
