Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seiichi Akamine
My search didn't find significant independent coverage of him that would show he meets .  Most of the references are from biographies written by students of his, especially the one at his organization's website, which can not be considered independent.  The remaining coverage is passing mentions.  As a further check, I see he is not mentioned in the Gōjū-ryū article or among it's notable practitioners (Gōjū-ryū#Notable practitioners).  I also found no evidence that the style he created, Ken-Shin-Kan, is notable.  My search found no significant independent coverage of it, though I did find a number of dojos that claim to teach it.  I don't believe that's enough to show notability, based on .  A 2011 deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ken-Shin-Kan makes the claim that Akamine introduced Gōjū-ryū to South America, but cites no sources for this claim. If independent sourcing can be found to support this claim, I will reassess my vote.  Right now, this article clearly fails to meet  and that's my default standard
