Fails WP:N. No independent sources cited for this martial art, and expert review request to WikiProject Martial arts did not turn up any. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 08:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * delete as not notable, no externals to even get started on, google gives 12 matches. --Nate1481(t/c) 08:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Commenttry it without the hyphen. I doubt it's enough, but what exactly is the standard for notability of a martial art?Horrorshowj 21:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Substantial coverage in reliable sources, just as for everything else. Read WP:NOTE, it tells you all you need to know. --Eyrian 21:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm familiar with notability standards. However, a subject can pass by meeting specific without meeting general. Since I've never seen a Martial Art up for Afd, I'm asking if there is a specific standard that applies. Horrorshowj 21:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, no reliable sources. --Eyrian 16:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, as this sounds distinctively like something that comes from a single episode of Ranma 1/2. A side note, a tiger is not appropriate if you are using the Japanese word neko.  But that's semantics. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 21:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Having met him in person on the mat, I can attest to the fact that the Ernie Cates and his ryu are the real deal, but that doesn't change the fact that there are basically no sources to cite. &mdash; Mrand T-C 01:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, thanks for the note - I stand corrected then. 'Tis a shame, really, that there are no sources. It coulda been a contendah. =^_^= -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 06:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
