World Federation of Kickboxing

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article has almost no content and gives no reason why it's notable. The article says the association is based in England, but the article's external link (http://www.wfk-gov.com) says the organization is headquartered in Iran. The web page says the organization was created in 2003, but the article gives sources from 1998 and 1999. The web page says it's linked to the IOC, but GAISF/SportAccord list the official kickboxing organization as the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations. I don't know if the article is mixing two organizations of the same name, but I see no reason for this article to remain. Papaursa (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. The IOC's website seems to be having a few problems just now, otherwise I was planning to see what it had to say about kickboxing. That issue aside, I have not found any sources that strongly support notability. Janggeom (talk) 08:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I found nothing at IOC's website that mentioned this organization. In fact, that site didn't mention kickboxing at all since it's not an Olympic sport.  This article seems to have a number of factual conflicts, too.  I find nothing notable about this organization. Astudent0 (talk) 13:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
