[edit] Shorindokai Karate

While this claims to be a fighting style, all I can figure out is that it's the name of a karate business in South Carolina [1]. Doesn't really seem to be documented or covered anywhere meaningful. Information is sparse and meeting WP:V (with good sources) seems to be difficult. --W.marsh 04:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable fighting style. The article blatantly states that Shorindokai Karate is "a blended fighting style developed by Master Instructor gary ownes of Greenville, South Carolina." Sycthos^Talk 04:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable/unverifiable. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-20 04:20Z

• Delete The article contains POV material - other martial arts are about point scoring? No Karateka or Jujutsuka that I know trains for sport. It also fails to properly define the subject of the article - what are the 'best points' of Shotokan and Jujutsu that are 'blended' to produce the hybrid style? Delete to save the confusion of all readers.  (aeropagitica)  21:00, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I like to think that I know enough about martial arts to be an expert, and I've never heard a thing about this. Efforts to look it up don't seem to support its notability (or reality). KrazyCaley 23:31, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
