Seriously fails WP:NLIST. Most of the individuals listed will never meet the notability requirements. Yunshui ^雲 _水 13:08, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So far, it's mostly names from the article, and three of them are linked. These are the upper ranks that have served as the pioneers and organizers of the style. This is no different from making lists of notable graduates or faculty at a university, for example, many of which include names that are not considered important enough for articles in Wikipedia. I could put it within the article, but I thought it would eventually grow to a fairly large list. From WP:NLIST, this would satisfy "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles." Pkeets (talk) 14:12, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's from WP:CSC, not WP:NLIST. I should also add that the specific list requirements for people (WP:LISTPEOPLE) require that entries on a standalone list of people must be both notable and verifiable members of that list - neither is the case for most entries here. In addition, three members of the current list are apparently notable in their own right (they have articles about them), so every entry in the list does not fail the notability criteria.

Delete Unreferenced list of names. For reference see List of aikidoka where every entry has its own article or List of karateka. If we do that - there is only a very small group left, easily covered in the main article.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unsourced article that claims to show every black belt in the style. If that's so, it's a very small style. If not, it's a subjective list that's OR. Notable students seem to already by mentioned in the box at the main article.Mdtemp (talk) 18:19, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
