 * A keeper, I think. Got 627 Google hits on this from a variety of sources. (I am not knowledgeable in martial arts--this is strictly based on Google hits.) But the article certainly needs to be improved. &spades; DanMS 04:39, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Seems to be mostly local to Vancover, BC, Canada. Maybe not notable outside Vancover. &spades; DanMS 04:44, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Supplemental: It's Vancouver, with a U. Denelson83 05:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Denelson. I wasn't paying attention. I know better: I come from Seattle originally, halfway between Vancouver and Vancouver. &spades; DanMS 06:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I've never heard of this guy, but as he might be notable within a wide area, I shall request a keep for this article. Denelson83 05:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a notable martial art by any means, and the article read as only so much POV advertising copy. There is a chance that the style can be written up encyclopaedically, however, and if so I will change my vote from the current delete. --Fire Star 05:24, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability, advert. Inventing one's own form of martial arts is no big deal. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:32, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Wile E. Heresiarch. -- Kjkolb 04:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Um, inventing one's own form of martial arts is no big deal unless it catches on among widening circles of thousands of people, or in some other fashion achieves widespread public awareness and verifiability. I haven't dug through the Google links yet to see how substantially he might be notable within a wide area.  Nothing in the article suggests that this is more than a run-of-the-mill syncretism of what some fellow likes from various existing systems.  (In other words, not notable in its category.)  Nothing in the article serves as a source except the URL of the founder's website.  This inclines me toward weak delete as advertisement, unless evidence of notabilty is added, but I won't vote since I haven't done the research.  Barno 03:36, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - if it's only notable in Vancover, that's notable enough. ··gracefool |&#9786; 17:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seems to be advertising for his dojo. But if some guy from vancouver convinces me hes a demi-god there, I'll change my vote. - Hahnchen 14:44, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
