I was going to speedy this as spam, but then I saw the first AfD nomination, so I figured I'd re-post it for more discussion. It seems to me to be solely promotional. Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 19:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, read through the previous nomination that only got 3 responses (2 keeps, 1 delete) and was kept on the premise that there are notability claims. But the fact is that they are unsourced and I can't find sources to the claims myself. I looked into specific claims, like the UMARA "Man of the Year". The UMARA, United Martial Arts Referees Association, is a non-notable small local association. I also looked into the IKF 2000 "Hall of Fame" claim. First trying to figure out what IKF is, two main ones came up, the International Kickboxing Federation (which is notable) but the person is not on the list. The other is a local academy (The International Karate Federation, which is not a federation just the name of a dojo) that has no information on its website concerning the person. All these claims appear insignificant and dubious, I fail to find any notability in the subject, therefore I vote for a deletion. The articles has had unsourced tags for well over a year.

 * Delete I made the original nomination and the AfD was closed before I could respond to some of the points made mainly that none of the points of notability raised are actually in the article. You may find WikiProject Martial arts/Notability of use.--Nate1481(t/c) 23:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep assuming the claim that he was named Inside Kung-Fu magazine's Instructor of the Year and was inducted into its Hall of Fame 2000 can be verified. I couldn't verify it at their web site . JJL (talk) 23:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
