 * Delete as article fails WP:ATHLETE and maybe WP:ONEEVENT (only notable for his death). Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  11:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Although Josh Evin did pass away recently, this is not why he is noteable. He is noteable because he was a professional skateboarder who competed in professional skateboarding events & placed well. He was also featured in skateboarding videos & magazines as well. If you google his name most of the links will be pertaining to his death but this is because he passed away unexpectedly very recently. If you keep clicking you will see other links in relation to him being a pro skateboarder which were all in existence while he was alive. He is noteable for his skateboarding, not his death. robfromvan 23:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robfromvan (talk • contribs)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I'm calling delete because I couldn't find sources to satisfy WP:ATHLETE. From the article: could be seen in the skateboard video Unfazed unfortunately says it all :( --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 13:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * comment, he was a pro scateboarder with some kind of a sponsor, but did he win a notable award in a notable competition? According to the canadian ''province  Evin, ranked among the top 10 pro skateboarders in the world, appeared in videos and travelled to pro competitions in Europe, North America and Australia.Off2riorob (talk) 13:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't find any decent references to his top 10 world ranking. The only things I can find out is that came second in the ASA Sports Tour in '04 and then 4th in Vans Triple Crown in '08. I'm not sure if they count as notable competitions. this is one source that mentions his placings but I confirmed it on other sites too. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 14:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
