Hup Kwon Do

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is totally without sources and makes no assertion of notability. Fails both WP:ORG and WP:MANOTE. Name got 700 ghits. I reviewed the first 60 and found they mostly sites affiliated with the art, forums or wikipedia/mirrors. None of the first 60 were a WP:RS. No hits on gnews. Absolutely no activity on the article since Dec. 2006. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like a non-notable offshoot of Taekwando, I couldn't find anything of real WP:RS value on it. - 2 ... says you, says me 02:12, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Agree, just another small, non notable kwon do. Fuzbaby (talk) 02:14, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * delete : fails on notability. there's no shortage of 50-something and 60-something Korean fitness instructors using basic "spin control" and a slightly altered name which actually means "Plain Old Tae Kwon Do At More Expensive Rates" to advertise their chain of fitness centers as "new" and "original" and to have some kind of excuse for parading around in an expensive suit and tie trying to look more important than the other Korean fitness instructors they play golf with.  This is one man's small chain of businesses and there are no reliable sources cited or easy to find to suggest there is anything warranting an encyclopedia entry.

 * Delete It seems like a non-notable offshoot of Taekwondo, and it just fails on notability. Bloodmerchant (talk) 21:02, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
