Delete as notability has not been demonstrated nor any independent sources provided, despite tagging with these requirements in July 2010. – Fayenatic (talk) 21:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Note: Some offline citations have since been added, but I cannot verify any of the cited articles online, and I fear that they may well just verify the events mentioned (movements of historic aircraft) rather than Andy Lambert's part in them. The most frequently cited source, Professional Recovery Published by Partnership Publications, also cannot be verified online, might not be independent of the subject, and was in error about an award given to Lambert (see talk page). Andy Lambert is explicitly the author/webmaster of some of the external links that were given, and others did not seem to contain any info about him, so I have trimmed the links without removing any actual sources AFAIK. We do not know what content about Lambert is included in the books listed in the bibliography. – Fayenatic (talk) 20:16, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: well known in the vehicle recovery industry. What is this?  A repo man?  At any rate, this seems to be referenced to self-published sources, and contains a great deal of personal resume trivia like his ham radio callsign. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Be fair: vehicle recovery means tow trucks and stuff. He's responsible for the UK industry's communications protocol Turbo Dispatch which recently survived AfD. After that I tidied up the bio a bit but it still lacks evidence of personal notability; the industry awards don't amount to "a well-known and significant award" which would satisfy WP:BIO. It might be worth userfying the article e.g. under User talk:Brooklands Nut in case knowledgeable people with access to the printed media listed in the bibliography can add more quotations. – Fayenatic (talk) 18:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
