Shinkendo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently non-notable martial art. Has a number of passing mentions, but the main sources all appear to be connected to Toshishiro Obata or his association. The Encyclopédie des arts martiaux de l'Extrême-Orient of Habersetzer and Habersetzer says of it merely that Obata " ... created the Shinkendo style".

 * Maybe delete as this seems as if it would be notable but my searches found no outstandingly good coverage here, here, here and here. As for moving elsewhere, I'm also not sure how notable Toshishiro Obata's article is. SwisterTwister   talk  05:35, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The article was recently cut-down in size after copyvios were removed and now mirrors the information in the Obata article which I also question the notability of.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:06, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of notability or significant independent coverage. Thought about suggesting a redirect to the Obata article, but I'm not sure that is notable either.Mdtemp (talk) 16:45, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
