The article gives no reason subject is notable and has been tagged for improvement and notability for a year. I don't see how he meets WP:MANOTE. His claim to fame in the article is being one of Ed Parker's black belts, but notability isn't inherited. My searches found mainly non-independent mentions or mentions in connection with Ed Parker. He also wrote an autobiography, but that's obviously not an independent source. Papaursa (talk) 02:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I looked at the first AfD discussion, in which some potential sources were noted, but a brief examination did not show anything substantial, as far as I could see. Janggeom (talk) 04:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing in the article shows notability and I couldn't find anything when I searched. I looked at the previous AfD and didn't find anything to show he passes WP:MANOTE. Astudent0 (talk) 14:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
