Non-notable martial artist. Fails to meet any of the criteria in WP:MANOTE. His claim to fame was founding an offshoot (found non-notable by AfD) of a martial art that was also deleted for lack of notability.
(tab out) I see that Chito-Ryu Breakaways lists Foster as "founder" and separately from Yamamoto. ( http://www.chitoryu.com/breakaways.htm )
I agree that there may be some politics involved. How do you propose we clear up the conflict between sources? I thought Foster met the notability guidelines, or I wouldn't have gone to the trouble to write the article. Again, there are multiple sources online that refer to him as "karate champion," or "national karate champion," but even the sources used within the article disagree on the details. The USKA was dissolved in 1999, and I doubt original records from the sixties would be available anywhere. Pkeets ( talk) 15:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC) reply
