 * Delete I can find no independent sources that show he meets WP:MANOTE. Astudent0 (talk) 17:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge: to Aikido Yuishinkai International. Joe Chill (talk) 18:13, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Astudent0. I see no reason to merge this into a newly created article that has no independent sources and is also tagged with notability concerns. Papaursa (talk) 18:03, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep he is big in Australia and internationally. I added the references but agree they are not independant, I'll dig for some more. FWIW found some verification for Aikido Yuishinkai entry on the Aikido Journal run by well known aikido historian Stanley Pranin --Duckorama (talk) 00:45, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If he's big in Australia and internationally, it should be easy to find independent sources. The fact that none have been found makes him look non-notable to me. Astudent0 (talk) 22:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
