• Keep Glossaries are valid content on Wikipedia per WP:DICDEF, "Some articles are encyclopedic glossaries on the jargon of an industry or field". Adding sources seems easy by reference to works such as Martial Arts of Korea, China & Japan, which verifies the first entry. Our editing policy is to improve such content rather than deleting it.

Alex Shih^Talk 15:28, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep The external links and sources mentioned by others are sufficient to show enough coverage and that this is not original research. Papaursa (talk) 16:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
