Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marvin Perry
Outside the San Da / Muay Thai / kick boxing circles, the organizations and their title holders are pretty obscure - but these aren't the only obscure topics in Wikipedia, ''by far.''  We have a rich history of well documented articles on obscure topics, and I believe that is one of the things that makes Wikipedia the great resource it is (I can't count the number of times I've searched for something and been pleasantly surprised to find an article on Wikipedia about it).  Looking over various Wikipedia policies, there is almost nothing said about obscure topics - so that means we have to fall back on erifiability and otability.  Within the kick boxing circles, it looks like Marvin is notable, although the lack of truly independent third-party sources make that difficult to document.  I believe that the promoters and awarding organizations are primary sources, not independent Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources|secondary sources.  In short, we really need something like a newspaper/magazine write-up about Marvin to make this article complete, but I believe that it squeaks by verifiability and notability as it is currently.&mdash
