Article previously deleted for not having asserted notability, this one asserts it in abundance. Created by single purpose accounts User:Yudansha and User:Konjakushin, the subjects are a walled garden consisting of a local (provincial) karate instructor, his school, and chief instructor of its front organisation, Shotokan Karate International of Great Britain, only appear to have had local press coverage. The main subject's achievements were all wins awarded by the same organisation who he fronts (SKIGB); the Wilkinson sword is just more of the same.

• Delete Still don't see notibility or any media coverage that isn't focused on the that field "senior instructor of Shotokan Karate International of Great Britain" seems to be the only claim for notibility. Not enough to pass WP:BIO--Dacium 07:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Shotokan Karate International of Great Britain (SKIGB) is another school set up by Kershaw and manned by Shiro Asano, the person who he claims is his mentor. Note that the copyright to the SKIGB website is owned by Konjaku Shin. Ohconfucius 08:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
