I am not entirely convinced that this "professional skateboarder" is notable enough in terms of Wikipedia coverage. Recommending deletion for now. JBsupreme (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. I'm no skateboarding expert (and from the nomination text I would suppose that was also true of JBsupreme - apologies if I am wrong). But I see some evidence of notability from third party refs and inclusion in a video game and therefore see no reason to delete. I42 (talk) 09:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep If you have shoes named after you, I think you are notable. Gigs (talk) 09:52, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strongly urge creator to flesh out quickly, else delete. Hsu seems notable but the article is a joke. 83.251.131.118 (talk) 12:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Why the rush? Gigs (talk) 16:45, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Having a brand of shoes with your name (http://skateboardermag.com/skateboarder-news-features/industry-news/hsu-emericashoe/) and inclusion as a playable character in a sports game make a sportsperson notable. The last also indicates that he is popular, well-known and considered notable by the creators of the game. He'll most likely also have some reasonable skating achievement apart from the award mentioned in the article. - Mgm|(talk) 11:49, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Google Books, Scholar, and News turn up blank, though I wouldn't expect them to have anything on a skateboarder. Being a character and having shoes named after you shows some notability. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 00:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
