Added June 3

 * Sanuces Ryu: American martial arts, Martial arts stubs; Notability
 * AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD 20,000 or so google hits, nothing in the first 6 pages from a seemingly reliable source. The article is entirely primary sourced, with the conflicted interest advertising flair throughout the copy that characterizes so many of our MA articles... --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * SeishinDo Kenpo: American martial arts, Kenpo, Martial arts; Notability
 * AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD 23,400 google hits, nothing in the first 6 pages from a seemingly reliable source. The article is entirely primary sourced, with a heavily conflicted interest advertising flair throughout the copy... --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Septuple champion: Boxing; Notability
 * AfD I don't really have anything against this article except that it just appears to be more like original reserach. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD. For me, the key question is, "Are there sources that describe 'septuple champion' specifically in the context of boxing?" as compared to a generic term applied to any individual who has won something seven times? So far, the answer appears to be no. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD The page is put together fairly well, but the subject doesn't really seem to merit a separate article, IMO. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Serin Murray: Australian karateka, Australian mixed martial artists, Female mixed martial artists, Mixed martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * Keep I removed the notability tag since there's a source for her ISKA world title. Clearly meets WP:ATH. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shawna Angel: American wrestlers; Notability
 * AfD. Notability unclear. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shin Nihon Kickboxing Association: Kickboxing organizations; Notability
 * AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shishir Inocalla: Filipino martial artists, Martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * Merge into Modern Arnis. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shizuo Imaizumi: Japanese aikidoka; Notability
 * Unsure He's the founder of a style, but the style doesn't seem to be widespread. Both the individual and style lack independent sources. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD. Notability unclear. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shoot boxing: Hybrid martial arts, Japanese martial arts, Kickboxing organizations, Shoot boxing; Notability
 * AfD. As far as I am aware, 'shoot boxing' refers to a wider concept than what is described in the article. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Shotokan of England Karate Union: Karate organizations, Martial arts stubs; Notability
 * AfD Consists of only 27 clubs. Can find no independent sources or notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Siete Pares Escrima: Philippine martial arts; Notability
 * AfD I see no notability or sources. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Siratal Saif Moro: Muslim martial arts; Notability
 * AfD This looked like a good candidate for a speedy, but one was already denied. I don't see the claim of notability.  I got 347 ghits and none of them show notability (or even independent sources). Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Skipper Mullins: American karateka, American taekwondo practitioners, United States martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * Keep I couldn't find good independent sources, but he was well known in karate circles 40 or so years ago. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (and improve). We could always put it up for deletion later, but I have enough of an impression of notability to recommend keeping it for now. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Slam man: Boxing, Martial arts equipment; Notability
 * AfD This appears to be just an ad. No notability, in fact I'm putting it up for CSD-G11. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Song Changrong: Chinese baguazhang practitioners, Martial arts biography stubs; Notability


 * Sonika Kaliraman: Professional wrestling stubs; Notability
 * This is the 3rd time this article has been speedied. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Soon Ho Lee: Martial arts biography stubs, South Korean taekwondo practitioners; Notability
 * Keep I'd like to delete this article with no independent sources, but heading an organization as large as the ATA probably makes one notable. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (and improve) if reliable sources can be found. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Steve Cotter: American martial artists; Notability
 * Unsure There are no independent sources for his martial arts achievements. If true, I'd have to say "Keep".  Also not sure about his notability as an kettlebells instructor. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Steve Sexton: American hapkido practitioners; Notability
 * ??? This is a Canadian musician not an American martial artist. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Out of scope. I concur. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 'comment On May 12, there is a move with the comment 'no longer a need to disambiguate'. I infer that the hapikidosit was deleted. jmcw (talk) 08:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Steven Vidler (judoka): British judoka, European judo biography stubs, Scottish judoka; Notability
 * Neutral I don't think he quite passes WP:MANOTE, but some might. Certainly is not fluff. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD unless a subject expert indicates clear notability. Janggeom (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Sul Ki Do: Korean martial arts; Notability
 * AfD No indication of this art being notable or widespread. Papaursa (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * T.J. Kennedy: Hybrid martial arts, Mixed martial arts, Self-defense; Notability
 * AfD Already up for PROD. I'd say he fails WP:MANOTE.  Only claim to notability is founding a non-notable self defense system. Papaursa (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Tadashi Abe: French aikidoka, Japanese aikidoka, Japanese martial arts biography stubs; Notability
 * Keep (and improve). Although not an expert on the area, I believe the subject is notable. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Tae ju kwon: Martial arts stubs; Notability
 * AfD Article is already up for PROD. If that fails, then AfD since I see no notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Taekwondo Hall of Fame: Taekwondo; Notability
 * AfD. Without having looked in earnest yet, I suspect we will find many more sources referring to the subject (i.e., "the Taekwondo Hall of Fame awarded something to this martial artist") rather than about the subject, as such. Janggeom (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
