  • Keep I think there is notability here around the intersection of multiple areas, not just sports. Also the creation of the skate park. Balle010 ( talk) 05:55, 3 November 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Per WP:BIO1E. All the sources I can find are about Matasi's death (or the fact that the skatepark was named after him because he was murdered, which I count as still under the "event" of the murder). There's no significant reliable coverage outside of Matasi's death that I can see. Happy to change my vote if someone can find RS/sigcov. Samsmachado ( talk) 23:02, 7 November 2020 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS. In the WP:VICTIM guideline, a victim notable for one event should only have an article if they played "a large role within a well-documented historic event." I don't think his death is a well-documented historical event and the information about this crime would be better served in an event article about his death, not a biography.
