I'm not sure how this article meets the notability guidelines. I'm not sure if that solitary reference is reliable enough to make the person notable. Those are the reasons why I'm bringing this article up to AFD. Minima ©  ( talk ) 20:37, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - The nominator should be advised that it's not necessary that multiple instances of substantial coverage in independently published reliable sources be showing in the article to meet the General Notability Guideline, only that they exist. A simple Google search for "Mike Crum" (exact) + "skateboarder" generates: (1) THIS from the Park Cities People (Texas) entitled "2002: Crum Still Living Life on Four Wheels: Former pro skateboarder owns skate park." (2) Interview with Mike Crum in December 1995 issue of Thrasher magazine. (3) Interview with Mike Crum in December 1991 Thrasher magazine. (4) Indication that Crum has been a professional skateboarder for 15 years, per ProRiders.com. (5) Indication from Sports Illustrated that Crum was the #9 ranked pro boarder in 2001. That's all from the first page of a simple Google search, clicking a couple links. See: WP:BEFORE. Carrite (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
