I do not believe that this article meets the WP:BIO criteria and it appears to be a WP:PROMO. I have been unable to find any reliable sources suggesting otherwise. Most of the references are to a book written by the subject of the article. Chocmilk03 (talk) 17:54, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I agree with the nominator. All the sources that aren't actually written by him barely mention him. A BEFORE search was attempted but I could only find sources about the Christian evangelist of the same name. Spiderone 18:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – simply not notable; clear case of WP:PROMO. Schwede66 02:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Definitely not notable as a martial artist. Most of the references are articles by the subject and the others are, at best, passing mentions. There is nothing that shows the significant independent coverage required by WP:GNG and I don't see evidence that any SNG is met. As this is one of only two articles edited by its creator, I suspect there is a COI. Papaursa (talk) 16:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
