  • Comment A lot of normal schools have their own articles, never being nominated for deletion. Perhaps a complete rewrite or changing of the article could do the trick. Retiono Virginian 16:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There isn't any evidence that this martial art is practiced widely anywhere outside one dojo, and that only for five years. Non-notable. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Does not seem to be relevant to Wikipedia. Tellyaddict 19:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I happen to know this guy who put this here. This is a blantant promotional piece. His school is highly questionable in its legitimacy. In fact, from what I understand, the IRS may be looking into him soon for witholding income. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluecord (talk • contribs)

  • Forgive my ignorance on what is a "notable" school of style. I was under the impression that I could put a small DESCRIPTIVE page for the use of anyone who may be interested in learning about my life devotion to martial arts. Furthermore, whoever that was that claimed I am being investigated by the IRS, you have no grounds to make such a false notion. I pay my taxes on every dollar I have ever earned AND I donate to charity when I can. I wrote this page not for advertisement, but to give a brief explanation of what I do, since it is not world renown. I carry a Federal business license as well as all necessary tax identities. I have partnerships with several other instructors of different systems and no one has yet questioned what I do, but rather they are curious of what will progress for me in the future. Yes the art has only been spoken of for 5 years. Everything has a beginning. But like I have written, the practice has been around much longer. What I do and teach is not some made-up farce chucked together to make a buck. This is something that I decided 12 years ago that I wanted to devote myself to and consider it my life's work.

If this is an unacceptable rebuttal in the name of my page, then, so sorry to have wasted all of your time in trying to do something that I thought was perfectly fine and INFORMATIVE and in no way had I attempted to make this some manner of commercial enterprise. I have a day job that pays my bills. I don't need to propagate a hoax or scheme to cripple our ever wary society. If this was a commercial enterprise, would I not have given precise information about how much I charge or my class schedule? Or how about a detailed account of my belt progression? Or my phone number so folks could call me and ask questions about how to join? I don't recall placing any of these or any other promotional items on this with any intent of compelling the masses to join my program. Oh, one more thing... whoever you are that accused me of being hunted by the IRS, I invite you to provide proof. And if you really know who I am, then why don't you accuse me to my face or call the police on me or whatever you feel is the necessary course of action to deal with someone of my incompetent or dubious nature.

  • Comment. The policy on notability that applies to this article is available at WP:ORG if you'd like to look at it. If this article does meet the notability standards, you might be able to point us toward the sources that would verify it. The policy on conflicts of interest, which might also be relevant for you to read, is at WP:COI. Don't worry about the IRS thing too much. Just as we expect to see sources to verify notability, we'd expect to see sources to verify that before anyone here would take it seriously. -FisherQueen (Talk) 05:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment As I wrote this page, I had not cited myself well, I know. I thought I could get the page up and add necessary citations and/ or have others who know about me, but not necessarily involved, provide some manner of backing to support my descriptions. Given time, I will provided all that I can in the way of official documentation, as I am quite new to Wikipedia. Actually, this page was the first thing I have ever written for it, although I have read probably over 1000 articles.Talonado0013 00:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
