No significant independent coverage. Martial arts awards and halls of fame do not show notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. Jakejr (talk) 01:32, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seeing the number of "halls of fame" into which he has been inducted, indicates that he has at least a claim for notability, even if the article currently has only one source. Nonetheless, I did not find him listed at the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame, that may be because he was inducted before they started posting the names on-line. The "International Karate Magazine" does not appear to have a website, nor does the "National Martial Arts Hall of Fame", nor the "International Martial Arts Institute" unless that is the "Ji Dao International Martial Arts Institute" (or one of several others, such as Lifeway). I see that this listing of martial arts halls of fame has a note that reads: Many "Halls of Fame" allow persons to nominate themselves for induction (for a fee) and a person searching for a martial arts instructor should not look only at induction into a Hall of Fame as credentials for the teaching of a martial art. While is it possible that the Beikoku Karate-Do Goyukai (BKG) style of martial arts is notable (although I am dubious about that), that doesn't make its founder notable. I found mostly related sites, blogs and facebook pages. I did find two uploaded obits, none from a reliable source. Apparently, Mr. Henry had been employed at Monmouth College Police for 20 years before retiring as the Chief of Police in 1988. [Obituary for Isaac Henry, O'Brien Funeral Home]. The lack of reliable sources may be because his active period was before the web took off, in which case, proponents need to do some paper-based library research. --Bejnar (talk) 22:53, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
