A jack of many trades who has failed to achieve verifiable, third-party notability in any one of them. The article was created recently by a Single Purpose Account. Possibly self-promotion. And may be associated with self-promoter Tymm Hoffman, whose article is offered for deletion below, and who tried to insert himself into the Frankie Loscavio article.

  • Delete. Not notable. No coverage in independent, reliable sources. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - all Google throws up is www.loscavio.com, frankieloscavio.blogspot.com, www.loscaviomedia.com and the like. Looks like promotion, probably self-promotion like the one below. JohnCD (talk) 14:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this is not self promotion it is historical regarding the sport of rollerblading. The people mentioned in this article where also influencial professional aggressive skaters who helped create the sport of aggressive rollerblading. I did some checking and can some one please tell me how FL Studio is on this site and not self promotion amongst many others I have found. I am simply trying to document the history of aggressive rollerblading. I think you may be assuming you know about this history when in fact you don't and based on the searches returned in google how are you supposed to know this since you have never participated in this historical movement? - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/is-something-fundamentally-wrong-with-wikipedia-governance-processes/2008/01/07Template:Frankie Loscavio 20:03, 25 March 2008
  • Keep - I think anything regarding the history of a sport is relevant - just because you guys can't find it on google doesn't make it irrelevant. This template must be substituted. 20:08, 25 March 2008
  • Keep- I was a pro skater for Skatepile.com and Frankies contribution changed the way we handled our culture and commerce in rollerblading. Since Frankie has left our sport, there is not another online shop that has been able to replicate the simplicity and consistency of Frankie design and marketing. This template must be substituted. 20:21, 25 March 2008
  • Delete Article seems very promotional and the subject does not appear to satisfy the guideline WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I've been a professional rollerblader for over 10 years now. Frankie Loscavio is a pioneer of our sport, and has set some of the ground work for what has become known as rollerblading today. As a valuable part of our history, I don't think there should be any discussion in reguards to deleting this article.
  • Delete per the above rationales of the people I agree with. STYROFOAM1994talkReview me! 22:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Does not meet WP:BIO. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 22:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Would you pull the Dogtown Boys and Tony Hawk out of skateboarding history? Of coarse not. This is a solid piece of rollerblading history. Plus, there is no benifit for him to self advertise, as he is retired from rollerblading and skatepile has changed owners.
  • Comment I have started a sock puppetry case involving this AFD. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 22:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
