Skateboarder, article was speedily deleted twice but restored per deletion review. Procedural nomination, I have no opinion ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep article is unreferenced and needs to be cleaned up, but a quick google search reveals 30,200 hits on "Mike Mo Capaldi". Clicking around, it's obvious that the claim that he's well-known is true. I was able to verify some of the sponsorship details as well. -- MisterHand  (Talk to the Hand|Contribs) 14:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Chetblong T  C 01:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Amateur skateboarder, amateur athletes generally are not notable. I had friends in high school who were in videos and had sponsors; this does not suggest notability. Has he won a medal (or at least competed) at the X Games? A Google search doesn't mean anything; more telling is a Google News search (116 hits, only 5 of which are relevant and a Google Books search (5 hits, none relevant). May be notable some day, not there yet. faithless   (speak)  18:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the general consensus for athletes is that they be fully professional and compete at the highest level of their particular sport. The article comes right out and says that he's an amateur skateboarder.  Google News archive shows 4 hits from Thrasher, all of which look to be passing mentions rather than cover stories and the like. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
