Delete non-notable subject and probable vanity article. Pemberton08 (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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 Skate Boarder Magazine, in a listing in the Skate Boarding Dictionary for doing something called the "Ollie 360 Fingerflip", and a posting showing he was written up in something called 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 [1][2][3] 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 "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)[reply]
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)[reply]
