List of the 72 Shaolin martial arts

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This has been tagged as 1-source for nearly five years, and frankly much of the content is patent nonsense. I refer especially to "skills" that involve hurting an opponent without even touching them, such as "One Finger of Zen Meditation" and "Cinnabar Palm". Matt Gies (talk) 04:26, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment This appears to be a description of the contents of one book rather than any particular list of standard techniques.  The question is not so much about the reality of the techniques but the notability of the book.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:50, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This is more a list of techniques than distinct martial arts and it's based solely on one book. Fails WP:GNG and all other notability standards.Mdtemp (talk) 16:28, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
