Terry Brown (martial arts instructor)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This was a previous no-consensus close in February 2008. Some weak sources were found in the AfD but there's no conclusive evidence that they provide notability if indeed they're reliable sources. He's the author of one book, a senior instructor of a redlinked school and trained in a redlinked art. There doesn't appear to be a good merge target and he does not appear to meet notability guidelines. StarM 00:45, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep for the same reason as last time: author of a notable and well-reviewed ,, and recognized and quoted book. Recognized expert  on a narrow subject. JJL (talk) 17:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment this is by the 'board member' of an RPG - may or may not be a reliable source. I can publish book reviews, but it doesn't establish notability for the author. This doesn't appear to go anywhere, nor does this. The journal review and quotation might be an RS if it's independent. It appears to have an ISBN, but is it a scholarly reviewed journal? if it is, is that one thing sufficient to establish notability. Just my .02  StarM  02:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
