Norman Link

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Yongmudo practitioner and teacher. I believe he falls short of the minimal notability requirements. The only substantial piece I could find is the SFGate story currently cited in the article but that piece is not really about Norman Link (it's about his martial arts mentor). The other two sources provided in the article are not independent of the subject. In terms of reliable third-party coverage, that's too thin to build a decent article.

 * Delete not even close to being a notable martial artist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Obviously does not meet any martial arts notability criteria at WP:MANOTE. Coverage is insufficient to meet WP:GNG and my search for him in Google Scholar did not find enough to show me that he was a notable academic, though there were a number of "N Link" authors so it was hard to be sure.  The book listed in the article has only 11 citations and I saw nothing to show notability as a " former cancer researcher". Papaursa (talk) 23:36, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
