Keep My lack of Japanese skills is a problem in trying to verify this article meets WP:GNG or find a reliable source that says he won the WKA world championship in 2000. However, I did find sources that said he did win that title, which would meet WP:NKICK since 2000 is the last year a WKA title would meet the kickboxing notability criteria.

Papaursa Kindly provide source indicate and place on the article so I may withdraw the nomination. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 20:27, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CASSIOPEIA I have added 3 sources to the article that are in English. I can't be sure any of them truly qualify as reliable sources on their own, but I think combined they make a good case. I'm sure someone fluent in Japanese would be able to find more. Papaursa (talk) 01:31, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Papaursa Thank you for adding the sources Papaursa. Whoever read this AfD and understand Japanese, and if possible, pls add Japanese sources into the article. Thanks in advance. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 02:50, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
