This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Martial arts. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add ((Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName)) to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Martial arts|~~~~)) to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Martial arts.

Please be sure to follow the three basic steps when nominating an article for deletion. While not required, it is courteous to also notify interested people—such as those who created the article, or those who have contributed significant work to it. Thank you.

Looks like fan wiki article with the storyline parts from both wrestlers merged here. No actual recognition of the rivalry itself by reliable secondary sources. Also, one of the main facts that these two have starred the most together at Mania main event is factually incorrect, Austin-Rock is another to main event thrice.

Almost all of the facts are fake: the person has never been a World champion or an Azerbaijani champion. It is possible to see this from the list of winners of the mentioned competitions. Even the years and countries where the competitions were held are incorrect, in some indicated years no competition was held at all, and in some cases, it was not held in the mentioned country. Generally, there are almost no sources to proof any of the facts in the article and topic doesn't pass GNG. The article has been deleted on Azerbaijani Wikipedia, this is the discussion.

The facts are completely unsourced, and the information about being a World Champion is also incorrect: in some years mentioned as winning years, the competition was not held at all, and in others, this person is not among the winners. The accuracy of the remaining information has also not been substantiated. Overall, the topic does not meet the GNG. The article has been deleted on Azerbaijani Wikipedia as well.

I couldn't establish that he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. This has been in CAT:NN for 14 years, so hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 18:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete. I am not sure there is any assertion of notability in the article, and only the birthdate is cited. I could not find anything better in a search. Dekimasuよ! 05:05, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Weak keep I did some searches and added some content, an image and references. According to the International Aikido Federation he was a notable person, see here. It looks to be notable person, but can't find many secondary sources. It would be good to do a search in Japanese, but I can't speak Japanese. 82.174.61.58 (talk) 12:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No indication of meeting WP:GNG, all cited sources are primary. Other than brief press releases of Iran's wins in this category ([1], [2]), I was unable to find independent coverage. N.b. that this article was primarily edited by Xihuaa, a blocked sockpuppet with a long term pattern of fait accompli article creations for non-notable subevents of this tournament. I think that restoring the redirect to 2022 Asian Para Games is the most appropriate course of action here, but my attempt to WP:BLAR was contested. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 14:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment It's true that this article's sources are just results published by the event itself, but from what I see that's true of many (if not all) of the individual sports articles from this event. Consistency would dictate that either all of the sports should have articles or none should. This type of coverage is typical of WP coverage of many multi-sport gatherings and I'm not sure where the line should be (or has been) drawn between which events should have such coverage and which shouldn't. I'd say this coverage doesn't pass WP notability criteria, but I see that many attempts to redirect this type of article have been reversed. If there's been a precedent or relevant policy, please let me know. If forced to choose, I'd go for a redirect. Papaursa (talk) 21:19, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
