Fails...well, everything. WP:N and WP:V to start. Couldn't find any reliable sources that addressed it. Using "universal ranking system" and "martial arts" on Google, I mostly got returns where someone wrote "there is no universal ranking system...". Of course Wikipedia and mirrors. In short, I'm tempted to call it a hoax. Aside from the 2 edits creating this article, the author has a coherent talk page edit in another article, so I'll AGF and not call it a hoax. Trying to search by the founders name is a fools errand. Aside from the 2 colleges of the same name, there are 18 Robert/Bob Morris articles on Wikipedia alone (none of which are this guy). Tagged for no refeences and notability for nearly a year. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete without prejudice - not an easy term to search, but if it really does exist, and someone can produce real sources, try again.--SPhilbrickT 21:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete No reliable sources. Searches find either statements saying there is no universal ranking system in martial arts or discussion boards advocating a universal ranking system for MMA. Search for creator and system together produce only wikipedia/mirrors. Papaursa (talk) 01:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
