Comment - Golf in India, Shooting in India and Chess in India, the three articles started by me in May 2012, have eventually, after several months, developed into proper articles (with the contributions of other editors). Is it possible to give this some time? The Discoverer (talk) 07:14, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a 3 sentence article with no accessible sources and gives no reason why this topic is notable. The fact that karate exists in India does not make the topic automatically notable. One suggestion, assuming sources can be found, is to create an article on the All India Karate Federation. Papaursa (talk) 16:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Improve The presence of the page and a few lines make it discoverable and can prompt knowledgeable editors to improve the article. Solatido (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
