Marilyn Fierro

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Female karateka that meets none of the notability criteria at WP:MANOTE. Her claims to notability appear to be her rank and hall of fame membership, neither of which is generally considered an indicator of notability in martial arts. The only coverage appears to be of those events. Contributing to Black Belt magazine does not show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Soft delete I tend to agree with the points made above. This source might be the most definitive one about Fierro, but it comes directly from the Isshinryu Hall of Fame. I don't know if that necessarily negates the source's "independent" standing, but it could. Some of the sources in the article DO mention her, I just don't think it's enough to establish WP:GNG or to meet WP:MANOTE. Gargleafg (talk) 23:30, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack of independent sources. For martial artists high rank or membership in whatever hall of fame has never been an indicator of nobility.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the previous comments. She doesn't meet any of the notability criteria for martial artists and I don't believe the sources given are sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 02:46, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
