San Soo
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has only 1 reference and it's not independent. It's been tagged for a large number of issues, some going back almost 4 years. I found nothing in the article that shows this is a notable style (see WP:MANOTE) and the large number of ghits doesn't change the fact that there seems to be a lack of independent reliable sources supporting notability.

 * Comment. The subject appears to be the style of a pioneer of Kung Fu in the USA, Jimmy H. Woo (mentioned in the first deletion discussion). If the founder is considered notable, I think that merging this article to the founder's article might be appropriate. Not being an expert on these subjects, and not having researched either of them yet, I am just commenting for now. Janggeom (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep The topic is notable. See The Reality of Kung Fu San Soo, for example. Warden (talk) 08:40, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:24, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep You can't tell it from this article's sources, but it appears to be a significant style. The article needs work, especially independent sources, but I think it can be improved. Papaursa (talk) 03:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've added several relevant references and rewritten some sections to read a bit better. Should easily pass WP:N now.--Stvfetterly (talk) 15:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Article looks much better now. Perhaps some of the tags can be removed by someone who knows more about this topic. Astudent0 (talk) 19:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
