Contested prod. Badly referenced article about a karate teacher. No evidence of notability as either an author per WP:AUTHOR or a sportsman per WP:ATHLETE andy (talk) 13:30, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless someone can show he meets the authorship criteria in WP:MANOTE--"Author of significant book(s) on their style;- e.g. a book that is recommended study for the art (e.g. by an organisation they do not lead) or by someone who is an artist from a different style and/or school, but beware vanity press." The German wikipedia article gives no additional support and I couldn't find anything else (in English or German) that supports notability, besides his books (and no evidence they were notable). Frankly, one of the German articles said he started studying karate in 1968 and opened his own school in 1970 and later founded his own federation--so apparently his high ranking comes from himself.  Someone more fluent in German might find more and better sources. Papaursa (talk) 14:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:ATHLETE (WP:MANOTE is an essay, not policy), no significant coverage in reliable sources. --Nuujinn (talk) 20:37, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
