List of Karate organizations
I was tempted to speedy delete this under criterion A3. This page is a spam magnet that doesn't work: it does collect linkspam, but it doesn't keep it off of any of the other martial arts pages. There are no established editors watching this page: I couldn't find any examples of an organization being removed from the list, so this counts as "indiscriminate information", advertising, and a web directory, all in direct violation of WP:NOT. Furthermore, having a list of all Karate organizations is just a bad idea: there's no selectivity implied in the title and there are hundreds of thousands out there, ranging from single dojos to international federations. Nothing in this list is worth saving. Delete and quickly. Mango juice talk 12:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - list of indiscriminate information. MOstly external links, few internal links but they don't really help wikipedia navigation. -- `/aksha 04:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, basically a collection of external links. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 11:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
