Do we really need two pages saying the same thing? I would suggest a, that the title should be 'Doshu' because I have not come across two meanings for the word, and b, that the article is only very barely a stub as most of what could be added is to be found in the other aikido pages already.

No answer, so I've merged the content, put up a redirect and deleted the 'stub' tag.

There was no notification of this merger in Talk:Aikido Doshu. I disagree with this merger because the title Doshu is not the sole property of Aikido. Any number of japanese ways could use this title, Aikido happens to be the best known use in English. In my opinion, there should be only one article titled Aikido Doshu unless this article was expanded to make it more accurate. — Edwin Stearns | Talk 14:58, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
Well at least we only have one page now and not two saying the same thing. As regards other arts, everyone is, of course, free to edit this page and add what they know. If that gets unwieldy, the page can be split. And, yes, it was my mistake not to put the talk up on both pages.

[edit] Osensei a doshu?
While the naming of the second of third doshus absolutely refers to Morihei Ueshiba as the first doshu, I don't think he was ever called that. Moriteru wasn't second doshu while alive, he was just doshu. / Habj 05:25, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
