Seriously lacking BLP. Seems to be most well known for creating motorcycle out of his car in the desert. Wonder if this qualifies for WP:BIO1E. Page had racial vandalism that went un-reverted for months (removed now). Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:48, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep While he is known for one "event", that event was by no means a routine or common one and has generated significant coverage. His survival against extreme difficulty has been covered by CNN, History Garage, Vintage News, The Drive, Outdoor Revival, and Gizmodo, among others.  Significantly, these are not all merely reprints or copies of each other. Heck, even Mythbusters got into the act! That counts as significant coverage in reliable sources.

 * Keep -- per Eggishorn, who is my guide in all matters AfD. Furthermore, call for a procedural close as nom gives zero valid reasons for deletion. "Lacking" is not a reason for deletion.  Racial vandalism is not a reason for deletion.  BLP1E is a reason for deletion but nom doesn't even propound it, instead "wonders" if it applies.  Protip: If you don't know if your reasons for deletion apply, don't nominate the article for deletion. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 16:57, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
