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

Finishing unfinished nom for User:Pundit, apparently Twinkle screwed up. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks! The reason for deletion: The article is a prod contested by the only author, and a former copyvio (in my view still potentially an issue, as some structures have not been rewritten). The article is on a minor karate shotokan federation. The only author claims the sources cannot be provided because the notable masters do not have time to write articles or give interviews. Although the federation PERHAPS could be notable, if the data were verified, the article is in so poor a state that keeping it now makes no sense. In the meantime, the author insists on making non-wiki edits, in spite of requests/instructions, but this is not that much relevant to this AfD. Pundit|utter 00:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The article appears to be copied from another source for which one user who has little contribution outside says he has the [1][2].Notablity is questionable and further it appears to be WP:COI and whether copyright is violated or not is not clear.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Pundit|utter 00:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - All content directly taken from http://www.shoto-america.com/Menu.htm. The only author has a COI - seems to be the author of the aforementioned website, per http://www.shoto-america.com/cr.htm. Verifiability with third-party sources is absent. Notability not established. No external sources referenced. Author seems unwilling to establish notability with third-party sources. --Scott Alter 01:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per above nom. CBMIBM (talk) 11:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment If it were an article about WJKA, an FM radio station in Wilmington, North Carolina, that would be a keeper. This is the World Junior Karate Association-- all karate, all the time!! Mandsford (talk) 01:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
