Someone who gets a black belt at a young age isn't sufficiently notable for an encyclopedia. Delete.-gadfium 01:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Wtf black belts?" Uh... indeed! Congratulations, but delete. Samaritan 01:46, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete a fairly impressive achievement, but not an encyclopedic one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:33, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable. Megan1967 07:40, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I disagree. How many 10-year-old black belt owners do you know? I think his young age makes this sufficiently notable. I would like to see this expanded so it's clear which sport he got it for and it should be edited for spelling and such. Keep. Mgm|^(talk) 09:09, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Even if it were true, how can we verify it? Rick K 07:46, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
- If it's not a world record, Delete unless it has a place in the articles on karate or martial arts. --Dbroadwell

Comment: I've now formatted and rephrased the article. Mgm|^(talk) 09:22, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Comment: I don't know much about martial arts, so I may be wrong, but at least in some of them there is a "junior" set of belts for children, with anyone attaining a black belt as a child having to begin from the bottom again when he reaches the adult class. Not that it would be much of a problem, I suppose, if he keeps up his training. But many don't, so a black belt may not mean that much at that age. / up+land 09:52, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I seem to hear of young people getting black belts all the time. There was one on TV just the other night in karate, probably about the same age; it was in the U.S., so it wasn't the same boy. I don't think black belt recipients are notable, even the "youngest Romanian black belt in some unspecified martial art". But my real problem with this article is that the information in it is unverifiable as it currently stands. It could also be vanity. --BM 14:38, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
