[edit] Goutetsu-ryū Ansatsuken

This page is mostly original research with bits and pieces of Capcom information to support it. Pretty much all encyclopedic and relevant info can be found on the Ryu (Street Fighter), Ken Masters and Akuma (Street Fighter) pages. Danny Lilithborne 00:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete its a pity since a bit of effort has gone into it, but unsourced and POV issues are troublesome. "Ansatsuken" comes up with less than 1,000 sites in google which is pretty low in regards to Street Fighter and raises doubts about notability. Decent addition to the Ryu, Sean etc pages, but not encyclopedic enough for an individual article. --Cini 02:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or move it to Akuma.--UsaSatsui 12:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep if more sources can be produced. See previous discussion at [1] As I pointed out last time, there really is no official name for this martial art so I just added that notation. Evan1975 22:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The problem here is that "Ansatsuken" is not notable enough for an entry as it merely is a name for lethal martial arts that can apply to any number of styles; whereas "Goutetsu-ryu Ansatsuken" is not even a term recognized by canon but sounds plausible enough to give the novice an impression that Ansatsuken is somehow tied to the general Hadoken/Shoryuken styles of the SF stars. Neither one is encyclopedic, and the latter is extremely tenuous as Capcom-sanctioned guides have next to nothing about the "Hadou" and "Shoryuu" style beyond their names.

  • Comment Yeah, lots of original research here, I'm afraid. I've never heard these terms "Ansatsuken-Jitsu" and "Ansatsuken-Do" before and I'd really like to see some sources for them. Evan1975 23:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Rename, Restore or Move I think the major stem source for this problem is that people gave the martial arts a non-canon name. There IS a fictional martial arts practiced in the SF universe, much like 'Special Forces' style, but it doesn't require it's own page. It could easily be broken up and placed on Ryu and Akuma's pages respectively, much like how Dan has Saiyko-ryuu on his page. There's alot of good content and information on that page that can't be found anywhere else, and while I admit that alot of people went overboard, adding a bunch of move names on the list that could easily be placed on the respective characters profile pages, deleting it would sever alot of good tidbits and a single merging of alot of netural information. I think the page should just be restored to one of it's older variations. Sean Matsuda 03:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and merge at the current time. This article was bare-bones fact and essential in one of its older versions, but as time accumulated more content was added for the sake of inclusion. Its become stupidly large and unsourced. We don't do that at wikipedia. I'm afraid I can no longer support the entire exsistance of this article. -Zero^Talk 17:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
