 * Note to reviewers: This is both a former unreferenced BLP and a copyvio rescue. Parts of the article's previous state had been cut-and-pasted and/or very closely paraphrased from the driver's official site; with those removed, the article stood at 1099 characters; it is now at 2258 characters, over a 2x expansion. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:07, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svgrmed that expansion is more than twice, and that article is now big enough and now referenced. However this was not an unreferenced BLP before, having 6 references before work started, of which 3 may have been useful. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:34, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, those external links (sorted as such, not references, and with zero inline citations) were: the driver's official website (cut and pasted from, but, aside from the copyvio, apparently not used for content), his Facebook, Twitter and RSS feeds (WP:ELNO), a WP:PRIMARY bio that was a dead link, and DriverDatabase, which is, while useful at times, wildly incomplete in its data. IIRC pages with similar 'useful' 'external-link references' have been considered UBLPs in the past, but if they're considered enough here to push it past UBLP status, that's cool - it's good to have the article in better shape anyway. :) - The Bushranger One ping only 18:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: Expansion now past 3x. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:16, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that 5x is going to be required. Do you plan to attempt it? It's been a couple of weeks since your last entry here, and your only recent substantive edit was to add a table, which unfortunately does not count toward the prose expansion requirement.

 * Unfortunatly, I can't; I've exhausted the available reliable sources. :( - The Bushranger One ping only 05:48, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg 5x expansion not done, and not possible as per above. Regretfully marking this as unsuccessful at meeting DYK requirements. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:05, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
