The article lacks any independent sources and gives no reason why its subject is notable. The article reads like a press release. Jakejr (talk) 05:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There was some discussion about this on the Martial Arts Project Talk page and the article Talk Page itself. Basically a national organization for Taekwondo is not notable with the possible exception of it's country of origin. Alos the training centre under construction would be notable. I say weak because there is not much in the article and the organization is too new.Peter Rehse (talk) 05:44, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I read the article and the discussions mentioned by Peter and I still don't see why this organization is notable. I don't think this is notable any more than every karate organization in Japan is automatically notable. The article is tagged for a lot of problems. I agree with Jakejr that it reads like a press release (or ad) and doesn't show notability. Mdtemp (talk) 18:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment I revisited this and ended up changing my vote to delete from keep (see above). I understand now that this is not an umbrella for Taekwondo such as World Taekwondo Federation or the International Taekwon-Do Federation but some sort of government body with no clear connection to either. It's only claim to notability would occur once the park is constructed and significant events were held.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As I said at WT:WPMA I don't see anything that shows this is a notable organization. The article fails to show notability and needs better sources. Papaursa (talk) 18:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
