Machida Karate

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article is poorly written and contains original research. Also, since "Machida Karate" is such a small branch of Karate (if it can even be considered its own branch) and as noted in the discussion, hasn't technically been founded, it shouldn't have a page. The "Fighting Style" section of the article "Lyoto Machida" is enough to explain Machida's style of Karate he uses in mixed martial arts. Eggoroffles (talk) 17:39, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing in the article or on Google suggests it's practiced outside the Machida family and their school.  Much of the content of this article is already covered in Lyoto_Machida.  --TreyGeek (talk) 15:34, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing to show that this is a new style of karate--certainly not a wide-spread one that would pass WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 20:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I concur with most of the comments in the nomination. Janggeom (talk) 06:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per previous comments. Astudent0 (talk) 13:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
