This person was notable for only one event: hitting author Stephen King with his car. That event is already adequately covered at Stephen King. As far as can I can tell, nobody has ever displayed any interest in this person outside of the context of that accident, and neither need we. (The photo, File:Smithking.jpg, whose PD status looks fairly dubious to me, should also be deleted.)  Sandstein   21:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Strictly speaking I don't think BIO1E applies: he hit King's car, and he became the namesake of a King character. That's two things. It still seems too slim to justify an article to me, though, as evidenced by the weak sourcing of the article and the attempts to puff it up with minor details. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:26, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - BIO1E is being strictly applied by consensus nowadays; see Articles for deletion/Eric Ely. Bearian (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
