Does not meet WP:BIO. All successes, honors, awards and belt certificates listed seem to have no more notability than perhaps from a belt mill. "During the 1990s, he was introduced to Grandmaster Dr. Dan McEaddy and he began studying Angelic Ninjutsu. In 1994, he had completed all of the requirements for a 9th degree Black belt, and was promoted by Dr. Dan McEaddy." 9th degree? It takes more than 40 years if you're really good for such a degree in established martial arts. --Razionale (talk) 12:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete I am surprised that this article survived this long perhaps because it remained uncategorized. All the awards are from notorious self-congrat organizations of no notability. It is a good example of the worst of the neo-ninjas. No notability.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:28, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete interesting list of awards he's been awarded. I agree with Razionale and PRhese that that looks like a belt mill. Anyone surprised when I point out most of the page was made by an SPA only minor edits since? Didn't think so. Neonchameleon (talk) 15:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
