GKR Karate

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A lot on non reliable third person sources to demonstrate its notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 17:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per the lack of reliable sources. The sources in the article are unreliable and/or passing mentions. A Google News Archive search returns no nontrivial coverage in reliable sources. The first source is a promotional local source that contains content such as "New students are always welcome and anyone interested in joining should contact Nik Jones on 07659 185573." Other sources such as this article titled "Local Sensei to join karate elite" provide trivial coverage about GKR Karate. A Google Books search returns passing mentions about a court case titled "GKR Karate Ltd v. Yorkshire Post Newspapers", as well as a book published by Books LLC which reprints Wikipedia articles such as this one. Because this article is primarily composed of original research, and because it fails Notability, it should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 10:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The article gives a lot of references, but the independent ones turn out to be passing mentions (at best). I didn't find any reliable sources that support notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:44, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to Doorstep salesmen karate. Playmobilonhishorse (talk) 12:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)


 * GKR Karate contains one sentence about "Doorstep salesmen karate". That sole sentence is "Recruitment - A significant proportion of GKR's member base is from its door-to-door recruitment system." I don't think the above source is enough to justify an article about Doorstep salesmen karate, so I still support deletion. Cunard (talk) 09:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Does not appear to satisfy notability requirements. Janggeom (talk) 11:37, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
