[edit] Erik Paulson

Erik Paulson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Seems to fail WP:N. Article text does assert that he was the first American to win the "World Shooto Title" in Japan, so it passes CSD:A7. However, the results English Google returns for "'World Shooto Title' +Japan +Paulson" (all five of them) seem to be rather shaky attributions. Action Jackson IV 21:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - the article is real. It's likely that most of the online references are in Japanese. The article needs work, not deletion. - Richard Cavell 22:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Very notable person in the martial arts and MMA world, perhaps if someone could cite pro-fighters who trained under Paulson... Other than that it needs a cleanup. --Mista-X 03:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
