- Keep. Just because an article is too long or not wikified is no reason to delete it. I searched for "Chito-ryu" and clearly this is a notable style of karate with its own federations in Canada and and the U.S., local chapters and many Senseis. It is not appropriate to VfD this article, in my opinion. However, this article borrows heavily (though not an exact cut-and-paste) from the web site of the United States Chito-ryu Karate Federation [1]. The history there runs to ten pages this size, so this is heavily edited down, but many passages read the same. So there seems to be some plagiarism, perhaps even rising to the level of copyright problems WP:CP. But those issues are not to be addressed in a VfD. DS1953 13:50, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
