Eskrima De Abaniko

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article was actually marked for deletion per WP:PROD by JamesBWatson but the tag was subsequently removed although arguably the article's content is very similar to before. It has no references, and as a result has been changed many times by IPs with no way of checking if those changes constituted vandalism or not. Attempts at finding references pertaining to the specific title have failed, and the subject's notability is also questionable. Jay-Sebastos (talk) 13:22, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - See huge unsourced list at: List of Eskrima systems. I'm inclined to tread lightly here. Article is unwikified and unsourced, but the subject may be of merit — which is what this is all about. Carrite (talk) 16:56, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I agree that if it is of merit it should be included however I have tried my best to find sources relating to the subject and have failed. I can't even find any mention of it apart from on wikipedia. Perhaps it is just an undocumented art practiced by an obscure cult or something and therefore is not notable enough to be included and is not of merit per WP:N?

 * Delete This article gives no reason why this art is notable and I could find no independent sources that indicate notability. Astudent0 (talk) 12:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The current article is only two sentences. When I look at earlier versions, there's vandalism and still no notability is shown.  My own internet search failed to turn up any reliable sources that show this art meets WP:MANOTE. 131.118.229.18 (talk) 16:30, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. There appears to be an Eskrima strike known as Abaniko but I can find no evidence that a system has been named after it. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I find no sources that show this system is notable. Papaursa (talk) 18:07, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete contains original research.
