Non-notable school lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains ( talk) 02:56, 18 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Although Jikyō-ryu may not be well-known, it is still taught in Japan today and information is available on its history. It is a separate style from the Mugai-ryu page on which it was first described on Wikipedia and I think it makes sense to give it its own page to describe its history in more detail. It is confusing to simply embed it within the page of another style when it's a totally different style. I practice both styles and trying to figure out what's what or where they come from using my somewhat limited Japanese skills has been challenging. I don't know if we want to call the article a stub or whatever, but I do think it should be it's own article. Anyway that's my 2C.

• Delete The article has no sources and my own search didn't turn find the significant coverage I believe is needed to meet WP:GNG. Merely existing is insufficient to meet WP's notability criteria. Papaursa ( talk) 12:24, 21 October 2017 (UTC) reply

@Papaursa - The sources are in Japanese, there doesn't seem to be much in English. Kazrian ( talk) 12:09, 22 October 2017 (UTC) reply

If they show significant and independent coverage, it would help to list them. If they're not both of those things, then I see no reason for the article to remain. Papaursa ( talk) 15:30, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply
