=[[Traditional Arnis]]=

Non-notable newly created martial art. Most ghits are for the generic use of the name. JJL (talk) 13:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I have not nominated the related pages Jendo and Jonathan Makiling though I question their notability also.
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. —JJL (talk) 13:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No evidence of notability, and possible WP:HOAX children listed includes Prince Charles... Other two mentioned should probably be grouped since a significant amount of the unsourced content (ignoring geocities) is the same. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note to an ADMIN This and the other mentioned pages have had semi-protect templates added, these appear to be incorrect Can someone check please? --Nate1481(t/c) 14:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete not verifiable. jmcw (talk) 15:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • [http://www.geocities.com/traditional_arnis/Instructors.html geocities] claims that Jonathan Makiling Abaya and Rafael Claro are professors at San Beda College.
  • [http://www.sanbeda.edu.ph/sbc_so.htm Officials and Staff] lists Rafael Claro as department chair - no mention of Abaya.
  • [http://www.geocities.com/traditional_arnis/Instructors.html geocities] claims that Jonathan Makiling Abaya is/was an instructor at the National College.
  • [http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0015/001585/158509e.pdf Unesco] reports that the National College of Physical Education (NCPE) has been closed.
  • [http://www.deped.gov.ph/default.asp Department of Education of the Philippines] has no mention of Jonathan Makiling Abaya.
  • Comment I believe that this link clears up all three articles: http://wikimartialarts.org/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=2 Philjendo, the author of the three articles, appears to be Grandmaster Jonathan "June" Makling Abaya himself. jmcw (talk) 19:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete search using Makiling Abaya + "traditional arnis" yields no hits in Google Books. Google search gave a sole reference in [http://www.fmadigest.com/Issues/past_issues/vol5/Vol5_No1.pdf FMA Digest]. This publication garners only 3 hits on Philippine google so I don't think that it is that reliable.--Lenticel (talk) 22:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
