Delete non-notable subject and probable vanity article. Pemberton08 (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Delete Unless some indication of notability (secondary sourcing etc) can be provided. A quick google search found youtube videos but nothing substantial popping out. Maybe others would have more luck. Delete until sourcing is provided. Ottawa4ever (talk) 10:26, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Neutral Gonna be tough to show any real-world notability for a skateboarder, as they rarely get coverage in reliable sources. They are part of a tight-knit community with a genre following and an in-sport notability system. I did find him in [http://www.skateboardermag.com/skateboarder-news-features/features/gmofskt/ Skate Boarder Magazine,] in a listing in the [http://www.skateboardingdictionary.com/Skateboard_Dictionary_E-F.html Skate Boarding Dictionary] for doing something called the "Ollie 360 Fingerflip", and a posting showing he was written up in something called [http://armadaskateboards.biz/blog/?attachment_id=65 Automatic Magazine]. Problem for these guys is that most of what is written about skateboarders in on the various skateboarding websites promoting products, so I am not overly enthusisastic about a few [http://www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/a.aspx?ID=638][http://www.wfsafreestyle.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22][http://www.diversiontv.com/DiversionTvPages/Users/Videos/SKATEBOARDING/Synopsis/185.aspx] that at the least do seem to act as further and minor verification that he at least is what the article claims. So what the heck is the [http://armadaskateboards.com/ "Freestyle Skateboarding Hall of Fame",] and does his being included in it impart any notability? And aftr all this, perhaps the unsourced article Freestyle skateboarding tricks might be revisited as well... per WP:NOTAMANUAL. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Nice effort by MichaelQS, but I don't think there's enough there that's reliable and significant enough for WP:N or WP:BIO. I could find nothing in a library database of newspaper and magazine articles. Delete. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
