Craig Davies (entrepreneur, racing driver)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable autobiography

Is a racing driver, so notability sports may apply.

The relevant criteria would appear to be Have driven in a fully professional series. A fully professional series is one where prize money is not trivial compared to the cost of the series. For example, the SCCA Trans-Am Series is considered professional while the SCCA Spec Miata National Championship would not be.

Not sure if the races indicated would qualify. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete "left school at 15 with no qualifications but always had the ability to connect with others"- by posting his autobiography on WP for instance. Notability not established. Promotional tone. Conflict of interest etc Tigerboy1966 (talk) 17:16, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - per G11 as too promotional, so tagged. ukexpat (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure enough about the standing of the racing to speedy it, but to me it doesn't look notable. I'm not in the domestic appliance business (or in the market for any at present), but I will say I've never heard of those brands over here (Wolf was a brand of drill and other such that I recognise but they're not around any more - well, some are until eventually they wear out). Referencing isn't much. Peridon (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Wolf is better known as Sub-Zero, which is a pretty major brand - but that is not really relevant to the AFD. Ive looked more, and I cant find really any refs on him, so its going to hinge on being inherintly notable via the racing. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: I removed the Speedy nomination as it appear to be a biography with a claim of notability and is best treated by the standard AfD procedure. Rmhermen (talk) 18:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - it may have had a claim of notability, but that wasn't why I tagged it for speedy deletion... – ukexpat (talk) 20:09, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
