Delete I was unable to find any independent reliable sources about this art. There's also nothing to show this meets WP:MANOTE. Jakejr (talk) 15:49, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I turned up one decent source [1], but am otherwise coming up empty. For something that's been around longer than Buddhism, it has managed to keep a pretty low profile. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An ancient undocumented Tibetan martial art taught by a nomadic teacher sounds completely bogus. There are no independent sources to support notability and the claim of 6 schools worldwide clearly fails WP:MANOTE, even if it's true. Papaursa (talk) 18:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
