[edit] Ed Templeton

I don't think there's just quite enough notability shown, particularly since PEACOCK words were used. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep You seriously nominated Gonzales and Templeton out of ALL the skateboarding articles on here? --Liface 08:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - there is nothing in the article that shows he is notable enough for an article. If he is as notable as you [Liface] imply, then there will be plenty of evidence of it you can add to the article. Thryduulf 10:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

keep!! whats wrong with this? ive seen much worse on here!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.205.82 (talk • contribs)

• Keep Templeton is a highly well-regarded skater who founded Toy Machine, perhaps the most famous and successful skateboard manufacturer ever, and won a Slam City Jam. That's all that needs to be said. -- Kicking222 13:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The article needs improving, but there is no doubt he is nootable enough.--KoRnholio8 19:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Templeton has been a VERY important part of skateboarding since the late 1980's. Not to mention he is known internationally as a visual artist. I can think of several large scale magazines that Templeton is featured in on a monthly basis. Don't believe me? Pick up a copy of this month's Transworld... maybe Skateboarder then? ... how 'bout Thrasher... Juxtapoz, perhaps? All of these magazines circulate between 500 000 and 1 000 000 copies a month. Should I go into publications that are not printed in English as well? What the hell are you thinking? The fact that this article is being considered for deletion is absolutely ridiculous. The person who initiated this deletion vote obviously knows nothing about skateboarding, which makes me think that they should stick to deleting articles from subjects that they know something, if anything, about.

Sincerely, Phil Larin, AKA the guy who started this article.

P.S.

HEY ALL YOU WIKIPEDIA KNOW IT ALLS! YOU COULD HAVE JUST GOOGLED THE NAME 'ED TEMPLETON'!
