Text is wholly unsourced (since the only source on the page now 404s); article thus fails WP:Notability (people). —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 20:37, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm torn on this one. For someone who was featured in three notable games, had a type of shoes named after him, and was shown in a fairly popular skate movie, it is insanely difficult to find siginificant coverage in independent reliable sources. For now I have found http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/blog/_/post/4700392 (short article) http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=4682252 (interview), and the very short http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/blog?post=4443554 Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When you find sources, by all means add them to the article! I've updated the article with the interview and some other sources I have found. (I am not taking a position on whether or not the article should be deleted, or even whether the sources I found are sufficiently reliable.) —Tim Pierce (talk) 23:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coverage seems to exist; mostly skate-related media but also ESPN as mentioned above. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It appears to meet wp:notability criteria. Ouaanaya1 (talk) 15:21, 14 February 2012 (UTC) — Ouaanaya1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
