Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bullshido.net
Based on 60k Google hits that appear fairly well distributed for "bullshido.com" or "bullshido.net", but only 18k for "bullshido" ''without'' "bullshido.com" or "bullshido.net", changed vote to '''merge'''.  The total number of hits is reasonable but the term "bullshido" appears closely connected with the web site.  I'm ok with Mangojuice's suggestion of merging Bullshido into this article rather than the other way around.  60k ghits doesn't indicate notability all by itself, but it's a respectable number.  Similarly, Google search for "martial arts" gets over 65 million hits of which bullshido.net is about #80, again not a slam-dunk for notability, but certainly not too shabby.  (It bothers me that two of the top 5 hits for bullshido.net are to Wikipedia). I've been studying the big-boards rankings for various sites and currently am of the opinion that they should not be considered relevant in general for  purposes, since they're mostly limited to sites running particular types of software.  I think Google rank (per above) is somewhat more informative.  I'll put some more analysis of big-boards.com here or over at the  talk page later.  Here are a couple pages critical of bullshido.net: http://www.fightingarts.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/15826017/an/0/page/1  http://www.themartialist.com/bullshidofaq.htm.  While not flattering to the site, the existence of such reactions is evidence of notability.  I'd like to ask that one or both of those links be inserted into the article in the NPOV spirit, but I'm probably not the best person to add them under the circumstances
