Kiyoshi Arakaki

No independent evidence he's a notable martial artist. My search found no significant independent coverage and the article's sources are simply a list of his books. He fails both WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. He doesn't inherit notability from his instructors, high rank doesn't show notability, and creating your own style doesn't show notability. Article was apparently created by a student of his style. Nothing in the article shows he meets any notability criteria.Mdtemp (talk) 16:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete The only real claim of notability appears to be that he has authored some karate books, but I see nothing to show he meets WP:AUTHOR. The references consist of a list of his books, which are certainly not independent of him, and fail to show he meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 00:20, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
