Added June 30

 * German Ju-Jutsu: European martial arts, Jujutsu; Notability
 * neutral Some notability, does anyone speek German and could have a look at the German article for more info? --Natet/c 10:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Tried to search for this but I found lots of web pages that say ju-jutsu is just another way of saying jujuitsu (and a host of similar spellings). Hard to find something related to this exact article. Astudent0 (talk) 21:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Haley Webb: American taekwondo practitioners; Notability
 * No longer in a martial arts category Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Happo bikenjutsu: Japanese martial arts; Notability
 * AfD No sources no links, possible merge to Schools of ninjutus if good source found but google doesn't look promising. --Natet/c 10:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Hokutoryu jujutsu: Jujutsu; Notability


 * Ibraham Ahmed: American taekwondo practitioners, United States martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * AfD I don't see martial arts notability. I'd say the most notable thing he's done was being one of the founders of ZIAD Health Care and I'm not sure how notable that is.  Well intentioned, surely, but notable?  Article also lacks independent sources. Papaursa (talk) 22:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Icon Sport: Mixed martial arts organizations; Notability
 * AfD MMA organization that isn't even listed at MMA notability and may be defunct. Papaursa (talk) 01:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This article is up for discussion at AfD Papaursa (talk) 22:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Template:Japanese kickboxing organizations: Martial arts navbox templates; Notability Status July 21: no action taken this week


 * Jay T. Will: American karateka; Notability
 * AfD Unless his books are notable, he fails WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 01:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Jinenkan: Jinenkan, Martial arts stubs, Ninjutsu organizations; Notability
 * AfD I just put this article up for a speedy, that's how little notability I think the article shows. Papaursa (talk) 23:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Jinichi Kawakami: Japanese ninjutsu practitioners; Notability
 * AfD I don't see the notability criteria being met by this article. Papaursa (talk) 23:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Joe Silva: American martial artists, Ultimate Fighting Championship; Notability
 * AfD Unreferenced article about the man who apparently sets up matches for the UFC. Tenuous martial arts connection and no real proof of notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This article is up for discussion at AfD Papaursa (talk) 22:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * John Jarvis (karateka): Martial arts biography stubs, Martial arts writers, New Zealand karateka; Notability
 * AfD as a martial artist His martial arts books don't seem notable and nothing else satisfied WP:MANOTE. Don't know if his other books are notable. Papaursa (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * John Linebarger: American karateka, United States martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * AfD unless world title claims are sourced. Without those claims I don't see the notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I put this article up at AfD Astudent0 (talk) 17:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Jonathan Spinks: American kickboxers, United States martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * AfD "arguably the best" referenced to a record book, that seems to be one school, unless any of you know who the PKA are? --Natet/c 10:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The best known PKA was/is the Professional Karate Association (founded by Mike Anderson). For about a decade (mid 70s to mid 80s) it was a major organizer of full contact kickboxing fights.  The problem with this article is that none of his martial arts claims are even sourced, much less reliably.  Not sure about his notability as a tour promoter. Since his fighting exploits have been tagged as needing a source for 18 months, I'm thinking about removing them. Papaursa (talk) 00:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I put this article up at AfD Astudent0 (talk) 17:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Kenkojuku: Japanese martial arts, Karate; Notability Status July 21: no action taken this week


 * Kenseido: Karate, Martial arts stubs; Notability
 * AFD No independent sources and no indication of notability. I'm suspicious of something that says it "encompasses all the know-how and key elements" of every significant martial art. Astudent0 (talk) 21:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Kerry Schall: American mixed martial artists; Notability
 * Keep Technically he may fail MMA notability, but he fought some notable fighters and has 34 professional fights. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Khridoli: European martial arts; Notability Status July 21: no action taken this week


 * Ki no Kenkyukai Association Internationale: Aikido organizations, Martial arts stubs; Notability
 * 'merge to Ki no Kenkyukai if that's notabel of AfD'' seem to be a splinter org, no indipendnt notability


 * Kim Na-Young (judoka): Asian judo biography stubs, South Korean judoka; Notability
 * Keep Finished 5th at the 2008 Olympics. Notability tag removed. Papaursa (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Kombatan: Eskrima, Philippine martial arts; Notability Status July 21: no action taken this week


 * Kong Ja-Young: Asian judo biography stubs, South Korean judoka; Notability

 * Currently being discussed at AfD Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Marc Laimon: American practitioners of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed martial arts biography stubs, United States martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * AfD Poorly sourced article that fails to show notability, at least to me. Papaursa (talk) 01:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Marcelo Dourado: Brazilian mixed martial artists; Notability
 * AfD as a martial artist No notability as a martial artist. Not sure if being on Big Brother Brasil has any notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Mark Holst: Canadian mixed martial artists; Notability
 * AfD Fighter fails MMA notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Martial Ballet: Martial arts stubs, Taekwondo; Notability
 * Already merged into Jhoon Goo Rhee. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Mary Davis-Cates: American martial artists; Notability
 * Weak AfD Being the highest ranking woman in a martial art of 3000 members is good, but not quite enough. I can't find third party sources--mainly memorials and tributes written after her death. These contain some statements that need sourcing--like the physically impossible claim that she trained over half a million Marines in hand-to-hand combat. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Michael Bernardo: Canadian karateka, Martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * Keep Well known martial artist. Won several NASKA world titles in weapons about 20 years ago and has coached the Canadian national team. Article could use some additional references. Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Michael Moreno: American martial artists; Notability
 * Currently being discussed at AfD Papaursa (talk) 01:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
