Martial Artists
See also: Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Biographies of living personsIn general, even if an artist is notable - if there is only one paragraph or so of material about them, then that should be included in the article about their style or school if that is notable,- redirects are cheap. If they are independently notable and the style is not, then do not create the article on the style but on them.
Criteria supporting notability
- Subject of an independent article/documentary; - same again...
- Founder of notable style (see section intro)
- Olympic participant or world champion of a significant international organization; -more than a few dozen competitors,
- Repeated medalist in another significant event;- (e.g. competitors from multiple nations or significant national tournament, not an internal school champion)
- Author of significant book(s) on their style;- e.g. a book that is recommended study for the art (e.g. by an organisation they do not lead) or by someone who is an artist from a different style and/or school, but beware vanity press.
Criteria supporting deletion
- Only achievement seems to be that they teach an art (or founded a non-notable art); perhaps also avoid even mentioning them in the article of the art unless they are one of a few high-ranked artists in an art that has thousands of students.

Famous quotes containing the words martial and/or artists:
“Let the martial songs be written, let the dirges disappear. Let a
race of men now rise and take control!”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
