Fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:NSPORT, or WP:WPMA/N. The article is currently just WP:PROMOTION and likely WP:COI. Since reliable independent secondary sources are so scant, that's likely all it will ever be.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Martial arts, and California. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete I don't understand how this was deproded. As per nom, blatant vanity page. Non-notable martial artist with 7 "Blackbelts" Fails everything GNG, BIO, NSPORT. Lethweimaster (talk) 21:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was recently "deproded" because it had already been put up for PROD in 2012. I went back and looked at the state of the article at that time and it claimed he was a 7 time world champion. I suspect that claim made it hard to delete without an AfD discussion. The claim was not reliably sourced and no longer appears in the article. Papaursa (talk) 02:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no evidence that WP:MANOTE is met and my search didn't find the significant independent coverage I think WP:GNG requires. He did appear on a number of martial arts magazine covers, but I don't know if those mags contained significant coverage of him. If someone presents evidence of significant coverage, please let me know and I will reconsider my vote. Papaursa (talk) 02:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My impression is that he was just a model for those covers. The actual mentions of him in magazines I found were all in passing, nothing in-depth. His verifiable competitive record/achievements are negligible too. Spagooder (talk) 03:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
