Chuck Buchanan Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG, as only coverage of him is routine database material. Fails WP:NMOTORSPORT as his only starts have been in semi-professional series.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 04:35, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Make it a draft, I think what's on there can be kept, but it shouldn't be lost forever. I agree that there really isn't enough info about him on the page and people haven't worked on it fully yet, which is why the article doesn't look good enough to be published on mainspace. Changing it to a draft temporarily will ensure that what's in the article now can be added onto and expanded with more info so it can then be put back on later. (Similar to what happened to the Tom Hessert article.) It should be noted that while I was the one who put in his East Series results the other day, I did not create the Chuck Buchanan Jr. article. It was created back in March 2018 if you look at the edit history. I hope that it will just become a draft and not completely deleted. Thanks. Cavanaughs (talk) 04:47, 20 January 2020 (UTC)Cavanaughs
 * Keep. I just added 12 refs to the article, making the total refs at 16.  NASCARfan0548  ↗  04:48, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * None of the sources added suffice for the significant coverage guideline, as they are all routine database entries.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 05:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)


 * ''Dear Willsome, I just edited the article to the extent that it looks complete enough. Please read it when you can. It now talks in detail about his K&N East Series career (the series he has primarily driven in) as well as Trucks. There were previously just two sentences about him in the whole article in the "racing career" section and now there's way more than that. Do you think we should keep it in mainspace or move it as a draft? It's your call since you're the expert. Cavanaughs (talk) 21:07, 20 January 2020 (UTC)Cavanaughs
 * Comment While it’s really the closing admin’s call and not my call, I’d support draftifying it. Almost all of the content added is unsourced and the portions that were had sources that merely gave a passing mention, not significant coverage. If others still think there may be sources out there that satisfy GNG, they can work on it in the draftspace, provided it goes through a proper review process and doesn’t circumvent the AFC process.

 * Delete or Userify if one of the above editors wants to preserve it for future expansion. Even after the attempts to provide refs above, this is still almost entirely sourced to simple database entries.  Since this is a part-time semi-professional that self-funds their racing, that is not surprising.  At this stage in their career, the chances that they will obtain substantial notability are fairly slim.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete he fails WP:NMOTORSPORT and at 59 years old he is unlikely to break through. If there is a WP:ATD like a target to merge, redirect, I would consider that. But I do not think there is such a target. Wm335td (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
