Notability has not been established. All the references refer to everything but the subject and it appears to refer to only one small group. Peter Rehse (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. This is a long, well-written, and referenced article (mind you, I disagree with a fair amount of its general history of karate, but still) that didn't show up as a copyvio in a simple search, and I regret seeing such an article cut, but nonetheless there's just no evidence of any notability for what appears to be a local style begun in 1999.

Redirect/Merge to Dan Hausel This style is not notable and most of the sources have nothing to do with the style since they predate the style's creation. However, the style's founder has an article that was kept primarily because of his work as a geologist. The style is mentioned in the article and a redirect seems reasonable.

Redirect to Dan Hausel. This style does not pass WP:MANOTE and a redirect would take care of any searches.Mdtemp (talk) 17:13, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
