 * Keep. Skater passes WP:ATHLETE. Citations could be better, but Google searches indicate WP:RS available to verify. This amateur athlete competes at the national and international level. Good enough. • Gene93k (talk) 15:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, the highest level of the sport would be a international senior championship, in which he has never competed. National level and/or age-specific level is not enough. Punkmorten (talk) 21:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. Nominated by single-purpose accout, too. To User:Punkmorten, the Karl Schaefer Memorial is a senior-level international competition. Kolindigo (talk) 01:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I wouldn't object to further tightening up the standard of notability for figure skaters, as we have many other articles about skaters with similar levels of achievement who are unlikely to be considered notable in the sport even 10 years from now, much less 100 years from now.  But I see no reason to pick on Villarreal, inconsistent with the existing standard of notability that applies to all those other skaters.  Dr.frog (talk) 03:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
