Comment: Being a black karate pioneer in the East Coast of America is certainly notable.  He passes  as a result.  https://books.google.com/books?id=LNQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA53&lpg=PA53&dq=tong+dojo+cofield&source=bl&ots=yk1EnLcKTQ&sig=GX9YNzegPQjZqU6vQfgjREvtZUI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=feXzVMPkBoWfggSEjICQDg&ved=0CDEQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=tong%20dojo%20cofield&f=false

Comment: No vote yet.  It is hard to understand from the article on how he meets  but I also have a soft spot for characters important in the development of martial arts in the West so I wait to see that claim more clearly demonstrated.  I went through the Black belt articles listed in the article - which one is he the subject of a 3 page article.  Perhaps I missed it

Comment: As the article currently stands I don't see anything that allows him to meet --just passing mentions.  There's also no evidence to show he meets any of the notability criteria at .  If such evidence is presented, I will reconsider my vote
