Added February 25

 * Anjing banfa: Martial arts- Status March 4: AFD closed as deleted
 * I nominated this for speedy. Zero gnews returns. Gbooks got 1 return, a "who's who in california". It had 1400 ghits. I reviewed the first 50 and found a lack of reliable sources. Mostly either stuff connected to him or blog entries. The author made one single edit on WP, making this article, and used the name of the founder. Sorry if I acted hastily, but this was just a no-brainer to me. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy was declined because the admin doesn't feel A7 applies. I'm not waiting on this one. Nominating for AfD. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:36, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Second immediate nom, possibly the route for most declined speedies.--Natet/c 08:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Articles for deletion/Anjing banfa. Niteshift36 (talk) 10:44, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Butt shooting: Archery- status March 9: Redirected
 * Recommendation: Merge and redirect to archery. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Second redirect- minimal content not need to spin out of main article at this stage. --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Ed Gruberman: Fictional martial artists ''status: no action taken
 * Recommendation: Redirect to Ti Kwan Leep. jmcw (talk) 13:58, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support the redirect. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it's a dab page so kind of out of scope, could be a redirect to either. --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Family System (martial arts): Chinese martial arts, Martial arts stubs - Status March 9: Redirected to Styles of Chinese martial arts.
 * Redirect. Someone proposed a merge in 2008 and has never acted on it. Redirect looks like the best idea. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:38, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Second 1 line, redirect to a section of CMA. --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Fight doctor: Boxing, Martial arts stubs- status March 10: Redirected to cutman
 * Would support a merge and redirect, but to which one? Boxing or MMA? Niteshift36 (talk) 14:42, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * How about a merge to Cutman? It will likley get more attention there and expand to a useful paragraph.
 * merge and redirect to Cutman sounds good to me. jmcw (talk) 14:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Go Warrior: Martial arts film stubs status: March 30 PROD closed as delete
 * Neutral. Not a lot of coverage on it. (Gnews results are skewed with a racehorse named "go warrior go"). I want to say notable, but not a lot to work with to take it that far. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably AfD A 4 year old program is unlikely to get more info or more notable. --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If it goes to AfD, I'd !vote delete. Niteshift36 (talk) 10:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Recommend AFD I don't see a real claim to notability. Papaursa (talk) 21:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * John Cornish: Martial arts biography stubs- Status March 11: AfD closed as deleted.
 * Recommend AfD. Zero gnews or gbooks returns. Most ghits I reviewed were not reliable sources, wikipedia (and mirrors) or just directories. No assertion of notability. I'd say CSD, but maybe someone has something that shows notability. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * almost a speedy for 'No content' --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If nobody objects to it in the next day or two, I'll do a CSD nom and see if it flies. Niteshift36 (talk) 10:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Junan taiso: Martial arts stubs- Status March 9: Merged and redirected to Bujinkan
 * Merge and redirect to Bujinkan. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Seconded. --Natet/c 09:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Kajutsu: Japanese martial arts terms, Martial arts terminology stubs- Status March 5: Redirected to Japanese martial arts
 * Stumped. Not really that notable for our purposes. Essentially extinct, so not much new will be appearing. But I don't see a good place to redirect it to. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:02, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * How about a merge and redirect to Japanese martial arts? Papaursa (talk) 01:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect sounds good. jmcw (talk) 14:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirected Papaursa (talk) 02:11, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Little Iron Man: Fencing- Status March 9: merged and redirected to Intercollegiate Fencing Association
 * Merge and redirect to Intercollegiate Fencing Association. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Low guard: Boxing- status March 10:Redirected to Boxing
 * Redirect and merge to Boxing, where it's already illustrated. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree. jmcw (talk) 14:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Lutta corsa: European martial arts, Martial arts stubs- Status March 11: AFD closed as deleted.
 * Recommend AfD. Not a lot of hits via google : blogs and utubes. Bullshido discussion mentions a French-language reconstruction of Pankreton. If anyone ever finds a decent reference, this article could be recreated in minutes. jmcw (talk) 14:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * PFC: Martinez vs. Lorenz: Mixed martial arts stubs Status March 21: PROD closed as deleted
 * AFD There's nothing in this article, not even the main event result. The history section shows it hasn't been touched since last August.  None of the speedy delete categories seem to quite fit. Papaursa (talk) 02:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Parrying (boxing): Boxing terminology- Status March 10: redirected.
 * Redirect to Boxing. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:12, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Sappo: Martial arts terminology stubs, Martial arts terms- Status March 11: AfD close as delete
 * Recommendation: CSD A7 AfD. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree. jmcw (talk) 15:39, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The Purifiers: Martial arts films Status: no action taken: outside of review area
 * Barely neutral. There was a little coverage of it (mostly mentions or stuff about the director) and a weak claim of being Scotlands first MA film, so there could be a push that is passes GNG. But it was basically a non-notable indie film. If this was in AfD, I'd vote delete, but I won't waste time nominating it myself. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Toa So Dou: Korean martial arts, Martial arts stubs- No action taken (this week)
 * 3 gnews returns, all mentioning Bill Duff from the series human weapon claims a brown belt in it. Lots of discussion on blogs and forums about it. Some claiming they've heard of it, some claiming it was the product of one teacher. Duff later stated that he told the producers Tang Soo Do and that they just messed it up. So I'm not sure.

 * Ultimate Taekwondo Federation: Martial arts stubs- Status March 11: AfD closed as delete
 * Deleted. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:52, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Recommend AfD: zero gnews or gbooks returns. 14 actual ghits on the whole federation title, mostly WP and blogs. No evidence of significant coverage by reliable sources, which seems odd since the claim is that they are a large org. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Universal Ranking System: Martial arts, Martial arts stubs-Status March 4: AFD closed as delete
 * Recommend AfD. Except for wikipedia returns, when I searched google, what I found were returns about "there is no universal ranking system". No evidence of coverage of this system. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and nominated this one. I made a long attempt at finding something reliable on it. It just fails everything.Niteshift36 (talk) 19:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Xu Zhen (historian): Chinese martial arts, Historians of martial arts Status: keep
 * Keep. -Niteshift36 (talk) 00:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Recommendation: Keep I have added sources where I found him cited as an expert historian on the martial arts. Papaursa (talk) 20:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
