Delete, I had originally proposed this for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7. Konjaku Shin is another article on the SAME school which I have redirected to this one, and which should also be deleted if this one is deleted. Dave Kershaw is a vanity bio (again, WP:CSD#A7) on the school's instructor, which was speedy deleted and recreated within hours. The number of articles created about this school and individuals involved with it, all linking to the school's web page, shows that they are part of a concerted spamming effort (WP:CSD#G11).

Delete. No indication at all why this is potentially notable. The school's website is a veritable showcase of its notability, or should I say absence thereof: The website press gallery appears to have a comprehensive collection of press articles, all of which appear to be attributable to the local rag, the Grimsby Telegraph, and some even include telephone contacts for the school at the bottom of the article. There is absolutely no trace of any national press coverage, despite being called "National School of Karate". See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dave Kershaw.
