Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG since almost all the sources are primary. My search didn't turn up significant independent coverage and the discussion at WT:WPMA didn't show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 16:17, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - Added Reference. Many of the references are not readily available in English.  The Ukulele Guy - Aggie80 (talk) 19:56, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete There is a lack of independent coverage. The fact that his instructor might have been notable is WP:NOTINHERITED.  The fact that some of his schools are celebrating anniversaries does not show notability, either.  His coverage doesn't seem to be independent or significant.

 * The various schools with anniversaries show a long established organization with thousands of students, one of the criteria listed for notability in martial arts.The Ukulele Guy - Aggie80 (talk) 14:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * The article on a dojo's 25th anniversary and other articles are just passing mentions, at best. Being in a field for a long time is not sufficient to show notability--any more than a school teacher or plumber is notable for being in a profession for decades.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Fails notability. Sources don't appear either reliable or don't speak about the subject but rather about someone/something that the subject is attached to.  (ie one article is about a school, not him, he's only mentioned in a list of students) Caffeyw (talk) 07:14, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete There seems to be a lack of significant independent coverage. There's plenty of sources to show he's been teaching martial arts a long time, but that isn't a condition for notability.  The article says he founded a new style, but it has no name--the style given in the infobox is the one he learned.  Nothing to support a claim he meets WP:MANOTE.
