Non-notable athlete, despite claims made. Part of a mass creation of Pezzin family/surname related articles by User:Dpezzin, as you can see here. Caution should be taken: the article creator appears to be moving content in and out of draft space to avoid deletion, or even from Draft to Draft talk. So there's no telling where the article may be by the time this Afd exists for a while. He's editing disruptively and I daresay deceptively and he's got two warning on his user talk page thus far.

  • Delete, no credible assertion of notability. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 23:54, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and clear COI/self-promo. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 00:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Ignoring the COI and continued disruption by creator, this fails WP:GNG as there is no in-depth coverage in reliable sources that point toward notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails any notability criteria and seems to be self-promotion Adamtt9 (talk) 00:40, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - obvious COI; aside from that, when what he's known for is apparently only "his aggressive freestyle riding with his signature trick being the back flip tuck no-hander" and no other sign of notability is given, then it's probably a failure of WP:GNG.

  • Delete You have to be careful saying "back flip tuck no-hander"... That's no reason for deleting, but having it as a speciality isn't, to my mind, a reason for keeping. Nor is coming in at 51 in some competition a thing of any particular note as it stands. Being someone's grandson isn't of note either, unless the grandfather is/was a reigning monarch.

  • Speedy Delete Absolutely no indication of passing WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 12:35, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - No significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability --Whpq (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Non notable under GNG and athlete, 0 sources, except his voting license. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 17:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Save Qualifying for the biggest freeride contest in the world is notable in the sport of mountain biking. Additional sources will be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpezzin (talk • contribs) 22:06, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I thought this might happen. Dpezzin has created and has been steadily building Colorado Freeride Festival, apparently, at least in part, to make build a case for inherited notability for his relative. While the Colorado Freeride Festival does appear to be a notable event, merely participating in it would not mean that the cyclist in question meets WP:NCYCLING, far as I can see. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is precedent established for many other riders who competed in this event as well, for instance Barry_Nobles — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpezzin (talk • contribs) 01:53, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • You have established no "precedent" for your family member's notability. If other riders at this event are notable, it is not merely because they participated in this event. If they are not notable, their articles should be brought to Afd, as well. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
