Obvious vanity page for a person who appears to have no particular notability or importance. The figure skating activities described in the article do not meet the WP:ATHLETE notability criteria of having competed at the "highest level" of the sport; see WP:WPFIGURE/N for further discussion on notability guidelines for figure skaters. I previously marked the article for speedy delete with concerns noted on the talk page, but notice was removed, so I'm doing it the hard way now.....

• Delete. "Assistant admissions guy" does not come close to being a notable position, and the U.S. collegiate figure skating championship does not meet WP:ATHLETE. A search of the GNews archive returns nothing that appears to relate to this Mark Butt, and I can find no other significant evidence of notability.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 06:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, nowhere near notable. Several non-notable activities do not add up to one notable one. Hairhorn (talk) 11:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:Athlete and WP:BIO. Aside from his personal or work pages, the only source I found was this blog interview. Even if we say it's an expert blog and constitutes a RS, there is still a COI issue with it. PDCook (talk) 14:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not notable as athlete or person related to a university. Kolindigo (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not notable - no ifs or buts about it!. Looks like a case of self promotion to me. Wikipeterproject (talk) 10:34, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
