Hui martial arts

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is misleading. The name suggests that there'd be a thing called "Hui martial arts" - just like there are Chinese martial arts - but in reality, there isn't. Instead, the article is a largely unreferenced mishmash of various Chinese martial arts with a few famous Hui practitioners. For example, the following sentence (with probably the only references in the article) goes: "Famous Hui practitioners of Piguaquan today include Ma Xianda", then followed by 16 references. We sure could try renaming the article "Chinese martial arts with some famous Hui practitioners", but I don't think that would be wise.

The article was created at 26 October, 2006. Ever since February 2007 the article has been tagged with a template, and since June 2011 with a  template. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete The sources are about individual martial artists. I don't see any significant coverage on the actual topic of the article. Astudent0 (talk) 14:49, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
