United States National Karate Association

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Although this claims to be a "national" organization, I have failed to find significant coverage of it in reliable, third-party sources as per our notability guidelines and WP:ORG. Coverage in books and in the news is slight and trivial. There are currently no reliable sources to establish verification of the current material and the article has been tagged for notability concerns since 2007.

 * Keep - and tag for much better referencing. According to their web site, they are the national governing body for the sport of Karate in the United States as recognized by the US Olympic Committee.  In trying to verify it by following links from the USOC site, for karate leads to this site which has the USNKF logo, but trying to read more about them doesn't turn up anything.  Also note that the official name appears to be United States National Karate-do Federation so the article probably should be moved if kept. -- Whpq (talk) 22:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - In my best Emily Latella voice, "Never mind." I got my association and federation all mixed up.  Sourcing for the USNKA is problematic. -- Whpq (talk) 22:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
