Non notable martial artist. Originally deleted at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred villari. Fails to meet
WP:MANOTE or
WP:GNG. The coverage is not independent and significant while making yourself a 12th dan of an art you created does not show notability.

Delete: It's actually surprising that I haven't found references of Villari as a
bullshido peddler; there was a good bit of it in the specialized martial arts press. There are certainly good newspaper references to his company -- weeding out outright ads being done -- but no
reliable sources describing Villari himself.

Delete or Merge and Redirect Self promotional to the n'th degree (12 in this case). Not enough for stand alone article but could be incorporated into
Shaolin Kempo Karate. Latter could do with a few more third party references.

Keep Why delete an article about a founder of a martial arts style? If not kept, then should be redirected or merged with other martial arts styles instead of deleted. To delete is to remove the history surrounding the style.

Comment: Because notability on Wikipedia isn't determined by what someone claims to have founded; it's determined, in this case, by
WP:GNG,
WP:BIO and
WP:MANOTE. Since there are, in fact, no independent, reliable, third-party, published sources discussing Villari -- all I've got is independent confirmation that he exists, and that he has a 39-year-old namesake son living in Massachusetts -- an article on him cannot be sustained.
