Styles related to Choi Kwang-Do
Not Notable Group. A Google search for almost all these styles / organisations comes up with nothing of great note see: Hup Kwon Do http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Hup+Kwon+Do&btnG=Search&meta= Modern Self Defence http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Modern+Defense+Martial+Art&btnG=Search&meta= Pil Sung Do http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Pil+Sung+Do&btnG=Search&meta= Dynamic Self Defense http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Dynamic+Self+Defense&btnG=Search&meta= Soo Yang Do http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Soo+Yang+Do&btnG=Search&meta= PAGES WITH OWN WIKIPEDIA PAGES: International Alliance of Choi Professionals and all alias http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Choi+Professionals&btnG=Google+Search&meta= http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=IACP&btnG=Search&meta= http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=International+Alliance+of+Choi+Professionals&btnG=Search&meta= Shim Shin-Do http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Shim+Shin-Do&btnG=Search&meta= Ho Shin Do http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Ho+Shin+Do&btnG=Search&meta= . Searches returned Wikipedia related pages the search only shows links to single school locations. Not "organisations"?, nor classifiable as "styles"?. The article contains edits that looks like a case of somebody writing an article about themselves Ownership of articles with a further possibility of WP:VANITY. Almost all of this list appear to be riding on the shirt tails of Kwang Jo Choi's success with his martial art Choi Kwang-Do. A case of the "understudy claiming notability" for assisting notable Professor? A recent discussion with User:BMurray on another article WP:Afd which previously linked to this page prompted me to carry out google searches and look closer at this list and links. I have only listed those I felt were questionable. Bacmac 18:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete agree. - Lazydaisy 21:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless properly referenced. Stifle (talk) 13:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Disagree. These are martial arts related to CKD. Some of these were developed by co-founders of CKD.
 * Comment, Samc1, you probably meant to vote to keep the page...Your point, even if it were true, does not address any of the material points listed by Bacmac as reasons for deletion. As for your point - including the CKD website, the websites listed above, Master Koo's website, and articles about CKD in martial arts magazines, I have never seen a reference that makes the claim that CKD (The art of Kwang Jo Choi) was developed / co-founded by anyone other than Kwang Jo Choi. If you can find one, please share the reference. Also, it is good form to sign your votes / comments. - Lazydaisy 17:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete. They are not organisations, with the exception of Dynamic Self defence which has a few schools in the UK, but is very small in numbers. Dale Miller 17:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC) Oh and not even CKD's biggest critic, roger Koo lists anyone other than Kwang Choi as the founder of CKD. There are no co-founders.
