[edit] Tenshin

In its present form it contributes nothing to Wikipedia Peter Rehse 04:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This article seems to have been recently blanked, after some disputes over content. In addition to that, the content has been moved to Tenshin Aikido Federation. Given the nature of the conflicts, I believe some consultation with an expert in the field will be necessary. Perhaps they could give direction to some decent sources or something.

• Merge No expert but I am familiar enough with the subject (see my user page and decide). I think the page should be re-directed to Tenshin Aikido Federation. Tenshin by itself is quite meaningless which was my biggest problem - if there had been content I would have moved it directly. I put a few links and categories into the Tenshin Aikido Federation page.Peter Rehse 01:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment It appears the Tenshin Aikido Federation has just been deleted for being blatent advertisement. Tenshin is a word that means heaven-mind and is used in the names of a number of martial arts the most notable being Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū. Personally if the word is going to redirect anywhere it should be there, since that school is about 400 years old. Tenshin is in the name of the aikido school founded by Steven Seagal and his then wife and as far as I know it is still called that although Mr. Seagal has no longer anything to do with it. Tenshin aikido is how some of Seagal's refer to what they do but there does not seem to be a consensus (read a whole lot of public sniping). The dojo of his ex-wife is certainly of a different type and has nothing to do with these groups. I now think the best path is a straight deletePeter Rehse 02:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Merge The article should be merged with Steven Seagal. scope_creep 19:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and Redirect per scope_creep/Peter Rehse. Danny Lilithborne 22:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the term is just too ambiguous.Peter Rehse 00:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge if the Seagal connection is the sole one for this term; otherwise delete until a proper, sourced, article comes forward. -- Simon Cursitor 14:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
