Sifu Liv

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable martial arts instructor, fails WP:ANYBIO. Only reference is to a franchisor. WWGB (talk) 11:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. 'Sifu' is a title, like master/sensei/equivalent.  The person's legal name is "Liv Vasudevan".  WP:GOOG did not turn up any useful hits, but this is India... if there was any media-coverage, e.g. of the four national martial arts championships that the article says Liv has "conducted" (maybe that's language barrier for won?  or language barrier for attended?) the press would probably be Hindi or Devangari or Tamil or similar.  Would need to know how their name ("Sifu Liv" and/or "Liv Vasudevan") is rendered in those glyph-systems to do a proper search.  74.192.84.101 (talk) 17:45, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "Conducted" usually means he ran/organized the tournaments. In the U.S., we'd refer to him as the tournament promoter. Papaursa (talk) 05:05, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete As the article currently stands, he doesn't meet WP:MANOTE. Two of the three references point to the same thumbnail portrait at an organization's website and the third is merely a listing of schools, which is insufficient to show he meets WP:GNG.  Article is by an SPA, probably a student (based on the article's title). Papaursa (talk) 05:16, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete on notability grounds. I cleaned up the worst of the pregnant prose but really there must be more of an indication of notability and impact.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. jni (talk) 16:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
