• Delete spam --Kgf0 22:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Note: User:202.183.110.81 blanked votes adding the following comment 'Its a definition. definitions per "definition" is - a sentence or more giving the meaning of a word - and it is exactly that. no deletion.' which is terribly bad form and a violation of the AfD process. Aside from which, WP:ISNOT a dictionary either, so add dictdef to my reasons for deletion. --Kgf0 16:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Im sorry I did not know to keep all the information in the edit box, I thought it would re-dupliate. Basically it is expressed as informative information about martial arts development and modern progress and includes a definition of a martial arts training machine which is data relevent to this topic. Basic information on any topic is its definition so the definition is included on the page. You wouldn't delete every entry on shoes simply because shoes are a commercial product and here the information and push for further development in the martialarts is key issue.

Note: I took the liberty of reformatting your reply and turning it into a Keep vote, since it's obvious that you're new and that you want it kept. To address your point, certainly an article on shoes would not be deleted, unless all it did was define shoe. Definitions go on Wictionary. Similarly, an article that amounted to an add for a specific shoe would likewise be up for deletion. What would be better is to write an article on something like Martial arts training dummy and include Martialarm as an example of one, among others. See, for similarly themed examples, bokken and List of martial arts-related topics#Training techniques and equipment. --Kgf0 19:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
