I removed the PROD, as no evidence was given of non-notability. According to the article, Cook has numerous well-regarded books and videos to his credit, has been interviewed as an expert in his field, etc. I know nothing about martial arts but it really seems to me that the correct way to go about deleting this would be an WP:AFD. It's far too subjective a call for a PROD, IMO. Shawn in Montreal 15:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cook is one of the foremost living scholars on Shotokan Karate, I believe. I have started working on this article. Janggeom (talk) 00:22, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It now reads like a fan magazine. Cut down on the trivia please.
