[edit] Lotar

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

This stub should not be an independent article, and should be deleted. It seems to lack notability, and may even me an advertisement of sorts. This stub only cites one source, which is promotional in nature, and a simple google search[1] of the term finds only one studio in California teaching it. It may be possible to merge its information into either one or both of the articles relating to Krav Maga and/or Kapap, though. Atari400 00:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

It should be very easy to merge the Lotar stub into the article on Kapap, giving that the Lotar article is only a two lines long. Atari400 01:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Kapap seems the best course. Pigman 04:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge both into Krav maga. Both this and Kapap are modified versions of krav maga. For the record, this article was much more strongly written as an advert before I stub-ified it. I talked with the author, who is apparently also the president of the Lotar organization, who claimed he was trying to provide an article to counter-point the Kapap article. Apparently the two are rivals of a sort. Kapap was my next stop when I felt like taking hedge-trimmers to an article, as it also reads as an advert. I would support adding that article to this AfD, and merging what content is relevant to Krav maga. -- Kesh 19:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Kapap per Malcomx15. STORMTRACKER 94 20:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into the Krav maga article as per Kesh. Also agree that Kapap should be merged into Krav maga as well, both as "variants". Keeper | 76 21:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
