Women's kickboxing in Australia edit
( )
- ... that women's kickboxing in New South Wales, Australia was banned by law in 1986 and only became legal again in 2008?
- Reviewed: 2012–13 RFU Championship
- Comment: Article is currently at AfD. It needs to survive AfD. Expanded to rescue.

- Alt1: ... that women's kickboxing in Australia is popular with Muslim women because it allows them to compete in compliance with religious beliefs about clothing?
- AFD now closed as keep. While ALT1 is supported by its reference, it doesn't pass the common-sense test (kickboxing isn't outright "popular" with aggro secular young men, so it's unlikely to be "popular" among any group of religiously observant young women - I think that the author meant its more/relatively popular). As such, I prefer the initial hook, but the ref to the Sydney Star Observer says it was legalised in 2008 rather than 2009. I think that this is more of a RS than the other source provided for this (an online interview with a female kickboxer). Otherwise, everything checks out. Nick-D (talk) 08:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
