This article has no significant coverage in independent sources. The coverage is from the organization's own sites and fails to meet the GNG. Sandals1 (talk) 21:16, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: The article is well put together but it appears to contain sources that either emanate from interested parties or are listings of books written by some leading figures in the subject. -The Gnome (talk) 21:16, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd submit a Weak Delete per nomination and on the basis of the commentary here, mine and others'. -The Gnome (talk) 10:35, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete There's no question this art exists. The problem is that, as both previous editors have mentioned, there is no significant independent coverage which is required to meet WP:GNG.  My own search did not find any evidence that any SNG or GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 00:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. "Traditional Korean martial art" with no article on Korean Wikipedia? That's a big red flag. Sources seem mostly primary (company/creator website). As written, this likely fails WP:GNG. But I am open to revising my comment if someone can show coverage in Korean sources. I tried searching for 원화도 1972 on news/scholar but nothing jumped out, but my Korean is pretty poor. PS. Korean wikipedia article for this is a redirect to Hwarang which does not mention this term, as far as I can tell. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:20, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
