Brian Rix (motorcyclist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Brian Rix has not received significant, ongoing coverage in reliable secondary sources. There are two (2) short news articles in Australian media which contain no original reporting, and merely paraphrase the contents of a press release announcing the sale of Rix's book. Essentially WP:ROUTINE coverage of the works of local authors.Much like climbing Mt. Everest, a long motorcycle ride in the 1920s or 1930s was a much more significant achievement than today. See List of long-distance motorcycle riders. Writing a book about your epic vacation is not the pioneering achievement it once was. Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:14, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
