This appears to be an autobiography with no indication of notability. The only claim to notability seems to be that the individual is a member of a number of martial arts organizations (WP:NOTINHERITED) and I don't believe that meets any notability criteria. There also seems to be no independent sources about him. The only sources show his various organizational memberships. Papaursa (talk) 19:55, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete My search found nothing to show he meets WP:MANOTE and the given sources aren't truly independent. Also, if the article is kept it should be renamed since Sifu is a title, not a proper name. Astudent0 (talk) 17:48, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see any claims that seem to meet any notability criteria. There's also a lack of reliable sources. Mdtemp (talk) 17:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
