Team Popovitch

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This is little more than a promotional article for a martial arts school. All the references are owned by the school. Written like a promotion (by a WP:SPA called Popovitch4) and half of the content is listing people who've attained black belt ranking at the school (that's the only part being updated regularly). Asserts notability because of the founder and that they won an amateur championship in 2007. No evidence of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Zero gnews hits. Regular ghits I reviewed were mostly from the school or non-reliable sources. The few that weren't were mentions. Fails WP:MANOTE and WP:ORG. The notability of the owner is not what is in dispute. The notability of the article about the team is what is questioned. Niteshift36 (talk) 20:51, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

If there are reliable third person sources to show notability then it should be kept otherwise delete it.

 * Delete Lack of notability as evidenced by lack of reliable sources. Studerby (talk) 00:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Unable to find reliable sources. Couldn't even verify NAGA championship at the NAGA website since the 2007 results didn't come up when I clicked on them.  At best this article could be merged into the one on Pablo Popovitch. Papaursa (talk) 04:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
