Unsourced article about a martial art which, according to the article, has 6 schools worldwide, but dates back 470 years (according to the organization's website [1]). Fails both WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. Jakejr (talk) 00:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Let's be clear - this is a small group which practices a style (Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū) which has a very long and notable history. That of course does not mean this particular study group is. Notability is not inherited.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:06, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a commonly enough practiced martial art to pass WP:MANOTE. Luchuslu (talk) 15:02, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge into Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū as a modern school.MartialArtsLEO (talk) 21:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's simply not practiced enough, taught enough, or covered enough to be notable. A mention, or even a merge, to its parent are is also an option though. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 16:40, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It lacks sources and any claims to notability.Mdtemp (talk) 16:54, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
