[edit] Revision
This page is very contrary to WP:DAB, and needs cleanup. Most of the entries here do not belong. A disambiguation page should be a list only of articles with a similar title as the disambiguation term. Bradford44 18:51, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- This is a troublesome area, starting with disagreement about the spelling. From WP:DAB: "Ask yourself: When a reader enters a given term in the Wikipedia search box and pushes "Go", what article would they most likely be expecting to view as a result?" In this context, I find some value to the current page. Each entry does use 'kenpo' or 'kempo' in their title. jmcw (talk) 23:30, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

- I understand that, but the MOS:DAB specifically directs us not to list articles that simply use the term in their name. In my opinion, anyone who types in "Kempo" should be taken to Kenpō, where they can learn all there is to know about the history of the term and its spelling variations. That is also the appropriate place to discuss and list any notable schools whose art (and/or name) is derived from kenpō. Only if there was more than one article about kenpō itself would a disambiguation page be proper. What we have here, however, is one article about kenpō, and a bunch more about schools of martial arts that practice variations of kenpō. Bradford44 (talk) 16:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
