Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Roseberry
Let's examine, for example, the links CrazyAces have posted.  The first and fifth sources (from the same source) are fluff blog pieces of the sort debarred by WP:ROUTINE.  The second is a mere mention of the subject's name in a list, and therefore can't be used to sustain the notability of the subject.  The third reports, credulously, false claims that open grave doubts about it meeting the fact-checking requirement of the GNG and .  The fourth is a casual one-sentence mention of the sort the GNG explicitly debars.  The sixth is a casual mention.  The seventh is the exact same citation as the third; err?As far as being an aikido practitioner goes, that in of itself isn't notable, and anyone connected with martial arts should know that.  As far as "creating a style" goes, there are hundreds of guys around the world who claim to have "created a style," at least for the purposes of declaring themselves 10th dan rainbow belt grandmasters and peddling videos ... my old teacher, a simple black belt in a legit style, sold out and repackaged himself as a similar bullshido peddler.  Perhaps Roseberry isn't in that camp: in which case, there are multiple reliable sources saying so.  Where are they, please
