Non-notable martial art with no independent coverage. All of the sources are links to articles about the founder and those mention the martial art only in passing. The founder doesn't appear to meet any notability criteria at WP:MANOTE for martial artists nor does the art itself. Being inducted into a martial arts hall of fame doesn't show notability for the founder or the art. Mdtemp (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

- Delete I didn't see the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG nor did I see any indication this art was notable based on the criteria for martial arts. Papaursa (talk) 03:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - seems to be notable, there is a National Butthan Championship held annually. Zayeem (talk) 08:28, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- The question isn't whether this art exists, it's whether it is notable. There's no indication that it meets GNG or WP:MANOTE. Papaursa (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment A search about Butthan shows several reliable news sources and a search with the Bengali word বুত্থান yields more. However, as indicated from the article it is a new (invented) form of art and mostly devised by one person (Mak Yuree). So, I'm still not sure, if it would pass GNG. An alternative is to redirect it to Bangladeshi martial arts#Butthan. Current article is almost a stub, and thus that would not be much of a problem. – nafSadh did say 23:09, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
