Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Academy of Shotokan Karate
merge+redirect''' into List_of_major_Shotokan_Karate_organizations. I agree with "It must be better to have a stub article awaiting improvement than a red link" above, per . In its present state, I'd merge+redirect, as the article is very short. Redirection would avoid red links and would make expansion easy if more content with  are added. Re , you have to adapt to the types of material available in a field. I mainly edit paleontology and and other biology articles, and in that field there are plenty of peer-reviewed journals and books by authors who have published in peer-reviewed journals. However I know of other fields where less formal sources are all that's available. Karate has a large following but it is not a big-money sport, so gets little coverage in big-name newspapers. Hence the main sources are web sites of clubs and other organizations involved in the sport. If several clubs or prominent competitors express support for Dave Hazard's Academy of Shotokan Karate, that's as good as one can reasonably expect in this field
