World Karate Confederation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A non notable marital arts organisation which doesn't demonstrate with third person sources why its notable. Dwanyewest (talk) 01:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. I would be interested to hear what experienced, active karate competitors (or those involved in karate competitions in other roles) have to say about this subject. In a brief search for sources, I did not see anything that strongly suggested notability, but I did see enough that I would want to seek qualified opinions. Any thoughts from those involved in karate competitions? Janggeom (talk) 15:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I haven't been able to find sources that truly support notability. I find lots of mentions of people, primarily kids, who competed at one of their events, but little that shows the organization is notable.  You have to be careful when searching because besides this WKC organization, there are other WKC organizations--among them are the World Karate Council, World Kickboxing Council, and World Karate & Kickboxing Council.  My experience is more with open tournaments than style specific ones, but the competitors' names I found for the U.S. don't appear to be America's best from the open circuits (no offense intended).

 * Weak Delete An organization with international competitions would seem to be notable, but I didn't find independent coverage of the organization itself. I found the kinds of mentions Papaursa found, but I don't think that's enough to show notability. Astudent0 (talk) 14:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. And what about the fact WKC is a member of TAFISA who is a service organisation of International Olympic Committee and what about the fact WKC is a member of IMGC with more then 15 other martial art sports included and what about the president of WKC Marco Nicovic is also a Vice president of WIKF which is officialy recognized by WKC...etc. 3 negative comments form idiots are really reason for the deletion.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.109.18.2 (talk) 10:13, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
