Lack of sources, longwinded prose without shedding much light on the subject. Hammer1980·^talk 17:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep Again, there is notable sources available. But the article itself looks like stream of consciousness stuff. Lots of work needed, if viable sources can be detailed. scope_creep (talk) 17:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep I agree with Scope. It's a topic for an article. This one needs some improvement. Mandsford (talk) 18:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The article says, "The Apaches didn’t invent any system of Knife Fighting or Battle Tactics...". So there is no basis for this article. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  That's a reason to delete? I'm pretty sure that the Apaches didn't invent the Apache helicopter either. Mandsford (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, it's a reason to delete. Since Apache knife fighting is no more distinctive than the knife fighting of any other group, the subject will be adequately covered by knife fighting. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Del;ete as advertisement, though incompetent one for "Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics,a collection of studies based on the verbal and recorded history of the Apaches." I think this refers to [1] which is based on a book "Apache Indian Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics" by "Snake Blocker" [2]. I think there might be an article on some aspect of this subject, but this is not it. DGG (talk) 22:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
