Tactical hapkido

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

There is a lack of independent information regarding this subject and there is severe conflict of interest issues as the author of this article appears to be affiliated with this organisation. Dwanyewest (talk) 16:50, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete This appears to be a non-notable art without third party sources. None of the references in the article deal with the topic--all are about the founder--and all are primary sources.  This art doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE.  If this art is deleted, then Tactical Hapkido Alliance should also be deleted.  The two articles are closely related and suffer from the same issues.

 * I agree with Papaursa suggestion and also Barry Rodemaker should be nominated Dwanyewest (talk) 03:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all 3: I've given this article all the benefit of the doubt I can. I simply can't find enough reliable third party sources to establish notability. All three articles rely heavily on their own sites as sources. There is a clear COI issue (which isn't a reason to delete, but it illustrates the promotional nature of the articles). Puffed up claims and an overall promotional tone. Simply fails WP:N and WP:MANOTE in my opinion. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:19, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all 3 All 3 fail WP:MANOTE. Couldn't find good independent sources on any of them. Astudent0 (talk) 14:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
