Lots of reasons - I think non-notable self promotion. It was tagged for notability before, then for copyright violation which isn't being resolved.Peter Rehse 04:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletions. —Peter Rehse 04:57, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I tagged for the copy vio, it's either that, or self promotion either way shouldn't be here. --Nate1481( ^t/_c) 10:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment If there's a copyvio the article should be deleted, but Pachivas was the head of Shuri-ryu until his death in 2000, which is a major karate style with an international breadth, so he is notable. If someone rewrote the article in a non-promotional tone, I think it could be kept. Note also that several other top Shuri-ryu practitioners also have newly created articles - most are notable people, but have overly promotional articles. Bradford44 14:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• The copyvio is that it's basicly the same (pre edit version) as the article linked @ the bottom, others might have same desease --Nate1481( ^t/_c) 14:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as a copyvio - there's no question its a copyvio. -- Whpq 00:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
