Modern Sports Karate

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a non-notable style of karate that lacks independent sources and fails to meet WP:MANOTE. The only possibly independent source in the article merely says this system is good because it frees Europe from Japanese style karate (whatever that actually means). No proof is given for the claims that this style's movements are "optimized" or superior to other styles of karate. Papaursa (talk) 02:47, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. To me, the article does not indicate why the subject should be considered notable. It is interesting to note that the organisation is supposed to be active in New Zealand—while I am not denying that this might be true, I certainly have not heard of it, and I think I would have if it were notable.

Delete I'm not finding anything that shows me this martial art is notable and it lacks independent sources. Astudent0 (talk) 19:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
