Zion wright skates for vans now, not Nike sb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.102.174 ( talk) 09:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Howdy all. I've reverted a redirect to Skateboarding mostly because I couldn't find a discussion anywhere and the article wasn't nominated at AFD. I don't strongly disagree with a redirect if there is a good reason for it but I thought we should at least have a chat about it first.
The list has helped in directing efforts to create new article for pro-skateboarders so has been useful at various stages. Without a formal inclusion criteria for skateboarders, the list has also helped to define which skateboarders are notable (blue links) and which might be notable enough for creation (the red links) - pro skateboarders with significant coverage enough to determine who their sponsors are.
Anyway, again, I have no major problem with a redirect if consensus is that a redirect would be better. I suppose I'd be more inclined to move the content to a WikiProject Skateboarding page first as a useful resource for project members.

What do people think about changing the title to "List of professional skateboarders" to make it more accessible and encyclopedic?-- Soulparadox ( talk) 07:27, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
How about this?

Agree with Narky Blert. 'Pro Skaters' is misleading as a title. Boardr does a great job with their use of Skateboarders(formal term) vs. Skaters (shorthand). I vote to change this N8610 ( talk) 18:35, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I removed people who I believe are not notable enough to appear on this list and also removed Shaun White, as he seems to be solely focused upon snowboarding now (I may be wrong).-- Soulparadox ( talk) 12:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Recently, there has been two more skaters that became pro. Aaron Kyro and Doug Des Autels became pro for Revive Skateboards and should be added to the list of pros — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candidius ( talk • contribs) 17:39, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

In my humble opinion, this is a worthwhile and well curated list, shout out to User:Velella and many others. I added citations from the NYTimes that reference professional skateboarders, discussing them as a group or set, therefore fulfilling the wiki-requirement for stand-alone lists. -- Wil540 art ( talk) 20:29, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Stockton ca Who would of been one of our greats but he broke his hip and he was just 15 years old too man he skated for semi pro team Osiris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.210.136.19 ( talk) 20:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
