Delete None of the sources in the article can be considered significant independent coverage from a reliable source. In several of the sources he's not even mentioned. A youtube video and his own book don't count as reliable sources, nor do lineage trees and school announcements about demonstrations (the YYA links). Martial arts halls of fame are not considered to show notability. My own search also found no significant independent coverage of him. Papaursa (talk) 23:28, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
