Keep Glossaries are valid content on Wikipedia per WP:DICDEF, "Some articles are encyclopedic glossaries on the jargon of an industry or field". Adding sources seems easy by reference to works such as Martial Arts of Korea, China & Japan, which verifies the first entry. Our editing policy is to improve such content rather than deleting it.

Keep wing chun is a well known martial art, would be easy to find RS for this. A list of terms like this is standard for Wikipedia. Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:29, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Really? Nothing is verifiable? Even if we disregard the notability of Wing Chun, there are plenty of academic sources that would corroborate the terms listed in this glossary. To illustrate the point, here are the first two terms in this glossary in two separate academic sources: Siu Nim Tau (SUNY Press), Chum Kiu (Tuttle Publishing).

Speedy Keep The external links and sources mentioned by others are sufficient to show enough coverage and that this is not original research. Papaursa (talk) 16:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
