Seikichi Iha

Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE. The sources are primary and there's no indication of notability except for his rank, which is not a notability criteria. Heading an association that he founded also doesn't show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 20:15, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree with nom. This is an old article and he doesn't appear to have come on much since 2006. Such notability as he has is a result of his having a wikipedia article! Deb (talk) 10:50, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lacks significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG and no supporting evidence to show he's a notable martial artist (see WP:MANOTE). Papaursa (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
