This was previously deleted under both PROD and A7 as non-notable. Although I've turned up some sources (see this diff), I've yet to find anything that conclusively satisfies WP:GNG. Bringing it to AfD to get proper consensus for retention/deletion. Yunshui 雲水 13:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC) Yunshui 雲水 13:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete No convincing claim to notability. It says Goh teaches people who, the article goes on to say, "Likely too new to be notable"? The existing sources do not stand up to GNG or RS. Creator has presented an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument on my talk page. There's a borderline tone of Advertisement. The JPStalk to me 16:43, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Respectful of policy guys, I realise some of the sources may sound like advertising and that's what I'm trying to avoid whilst still trying to provide sufficient evidence of his notability. Additionally I don't know any of his students who have achieved recognition. I am of the WT lineage (different from WC) Kittensfoot (talk) 21:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

- Weak Delete The only claim to notability seems to be that he holds a world record, but previous discussions have said that is insufficient for notability. There's nothing to show his books allow him to meet WP:AUTHOR. Papaursa (talk) 00:17, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
- Weak Delete For the same reasons as above - the Guinness record is exactly the same worth as the bat breaking discussed on the Martial Arts Project page (ie. not enough to confer notability). If there could be some attempt to support 1000s of students in multiple countries I would change my opinion. Right now its just words.Peter Rehse (talk) 01:38, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
