Traditional Arnis
Non-notable newly created martial art. Most ghits are for the generic use of the name. JJL (talk) 13:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have not nominated the related pages Jendo and Jonathan Makiling though I question their notability also.

 * Delete No evidence of notability, and possible WP:HOAX children listed includes Prince Charles... Other two mentioned should probably be grouped since a significant amount of the unsourced content (ignoring geocities) is the same. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Note to an ADMIN This and the other mentioned pages have had semi-protect templates added, these appear to be incorrect Can someone check please? --Nate1481(t/c) 14:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * geocities claims that Jonathan Makiling Abaya and Rafael Claro are professors at San Beda College.
 * Officials and Staff lists Rafael Claro as department chair - no mention of Abaya.
 * geocities claims that Jonathan Makiling Abaya is/was an instructor at the National College.
 * Unesco reports that the National College of Physical Education (NCPE) has been closed.
 * Department of Education of the Philippines has no mention of Jonathan Makiling Abaya.
 * Comment I believe that this link clears up all three articles: http://wikimartialarts.org/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=2 Philjendo, the author of the three articles, appears to be Grandmaster Jonathan "June" Makling Abaya himself. jmcw (talk) 19:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete search using Makiling Abaya + "traditional arnis" yields no hits in Google Books. Google search gave a sole reference in FMA Digest. This publication garners only 3 hits on Philippine google so I don't think that it is that reliable.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 22:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
