 * comment This makes me sad: Kenyu Chinen is a 9th dan from a famous Okinawan family who has never taken the time to get his name in the news. Karate-Bushido Magazine October 2001 Number 294 has an article but it is out-of-print. An Okinawan TV group did a video with him. But he has neglected his publicity: he does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards, he does not deserve to be in our encyclopedia. jmcw (talk) 11:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you saying there are sources that show he's notable, even if they're out of print? I assume not, based on your comment, but I'm not positive.  The article doesn't make a good case for him being notable. Astudent0 (talk) 17:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The sources do not exist - he is too young and there is little public press for Okinawan martial arts. I am frustrated at the world that an animated panda has good sources and a gentleman from an old Okinawan family does not. jmcw (talk) 21:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
