I cannot help but think that this deletion request is the result of a personal grudge. Ikeda is one of the major aikido teachers in the United States, and is well worth an article in WP. Djiann 20:56, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

It would help the cause of keeping the article if you can add sources that show this person meets WP:BIO. See Wp:bio#Specific_examples_of_sources for some guides. The sources currently in the article are borderline primary sources -- ones that better meet the definitions in Wp:bio#Specific_examples_of_sources would be good additions. --Fabrictramp 22:18, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll look into that soon Djiann 22:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

As the reviewing administrator, I decline to speedy delete. Speedy is only for articles that indicate no possible importance--any plausible claim is fully sufficient to pass speedy. It is not necessary to show the person is important, nor is it necessary that there be any sources. If importance is thought insufficient or insufficiently demonstrated, this is tested at AfD. Sources are necessary for that. Cf. WP:Deletion policy. DGG (talk) 23:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that saved me some work :-) Djiann 07:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
