This stub fails WP:NOTE and could possibly be a hoax as well. -MBK004 04:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * DELETE and possibly CSD G3 (Vandalism) or CSD G1 (nonsense). It is such a mess, and I doubt that we can ever improve it. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:47, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as notability has not been established. I think we should assume good will here, however, as an attempt has been made to provide a reference. . While the existance of these warriors, aka "the Kublan", is dubious you'll find some discussion of them here: .- Boston (talk) 08:06, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete the Kublan seems to exist. However, there are no online citations to back them up. Google Scholar didn't give any and a Philippine only google search provided few false positives. A promising result was obtained in Google books where and  provided some snippets of data but the books themselves are not available for view. -- Lenticel  ( talk ) 13:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Ninja. Right now it's a one-line article with one unformatted reference.  Searches for "kublan" along with "ninja", "martial arts", etc, show there's something out there.  When there's enough sourced material for a full article it can be broken out. Squidfryerchef (talk) 18:48, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Redirect target While it is quite flattering to include them in the ninja article, I think that it would be as inaccurate as merging Samurai and Knight (both are orthodox warriors of different cultures while Ninja and Kublan are unorthodox fighters). Judging from the scant data, we only know that the Kublan employ camoflague and ambush tactics and the similarity with Ninjas ends there. Should this be merged/redirected, I suggest that the target be Filipino martial arts instead.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Filipino martial arts works. Squidfryerchef (talk) 05:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with Filipino martial arts, per Lenticel. Starczamora (talk) 17:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
