 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant independent coverage. High rank is not enough to show notability. No indication he's notable as an author and the claims of being a great teacher are solely from his students (not independent). Running and judging some tournaments does not show notability.Jakejr (talk) 22:33, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Not sure but maybe weak keep as the martial arts coverage may be minimally acceptable and if he was well known, that would also be notable. It's also possible if there's any more coverage, it's not online; my searches found nothing better than Black Belt at Books. SwisterTwister   talk  06:10, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Did you find some significant independent coverage of him? I didn't and don't see proof that he meets the martial arts criteria at WP:MANOTE. Jakejr (talk) 04:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

 * keep pre-internet era. Passes WP:GNG.  Notable Author of Judo .  Recognized as a prominant martial artist  Passes WP:MANOTE. 173.52.89.236 (talk) 12:32, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No vote yet but there is no indication that the judo books have had any impact so the term notable judo author is a bit fast and loose. Pre-internet has no relevance.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete No significant independent coverage of him. Passing mentions are not enough nor is being part of a panel discussing weight training in the martial arts. Astudent0 (talk) 16:59, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Keep passes gng. Well respected and we'll known judo instructor and author2607:FB90:E9A:510D:0:48:EBBF:E701 (talk) 04:57, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:MANOTE and WP:GNG since there is a lack of significant independent coverage. There are no supporting sources for the claim he's a notable author.Mdtemp (talk) 14:30, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Keep Subject is a notable author and in judo. Passes gng 2607:FB90:246A:83B:0:24:F72F:A901 (talk) 18:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow, still another new IP weighing in with the same unsupported claims. Papaursa (talk) 20:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete He doesn't meet the general notability criteria or the specific criteria for martial artists or authors. The only sources that talk about him being a good teacher were written by students of his.  There is no significant coverage from independent reliable sources to support any claims of notability. Papaursa (talk) 20:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I was hoping to be swayed but I see nothing to show notability as an author (as my previous comment) and high rank does not sustain notability or being the teacher of twins whose own notability is borderline.Peter Rehse (talk) 20:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * comment Considered to be one of Japan's late great Judo Masters. This solidifies his GNG. 173.52.89.236 (talk) 21:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
