Ed Reilly (karting)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Of the two claimed references, one is a dead link and the other is just the main page of the "Scotkart Indoor Kart Racing" website - if it mentions Ed Reilly anywhere, I wasn't able to find out where. There are very few Google hits for "Ed Reilly" karting, apart from copies of the Wikipedia article. Delete for the lack of verifiability. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am even thinking of nominating the page for speedy deletion as a joke page, see the comments of . - Mike Rosoft (talk) 09:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC) This is the comment referred to, I assume.-- K orr u ski Talk 12:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - probably not a joke as such; more likely its a vanity page for a fairly non-notable junior sportsman. I can't easily judge the notability of the events he's competed in and, apparantly, won, but either way he doesn't appear to meet WP:ATHLETE and I cannot find a single source to verify any of the contents of the article. Possibly there was a case for a BLP PROD, but as it's at AfD now, I imagine it may as well stay here.-- K orr u ski Talk 12:02, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, having tracked down the comment that (I assume) you were referring to, I see what you mean. Maybe it is an exageration for 'humorous' effect but, by the sound of it, is not completely untrue.-- K orr u ski Talk 12:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
