''Nomination of Harness Tracks of America Driver of the Year for deletion. They did this before I could even finish/make adjustments to the article as the Dan Patch Awards have to be organized. Plus, I don't think they understand that there can only be one source for an organization giving a specific award that they legally control. We could have (and eventually will, I assume) links with references to a particular driver winning the award in a particular year from various publications, but not the Award itself. I checked the parallel Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer article that has been there for a long time and they list only one source and refer to some sort of Champions list but that is listed elsewhere as only something informal so not a reference.''

 * Keep notable within the horse world, and has coverage in reliable publications. I would also like to know why the editor nominating this is at AfD with only 19 edits. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 18:10, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep One of standardbred racing's biggest awards....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Snow keep:  This is like the Eclipse awards for harness racing.  Plenty of sources every year.  Article might benefit from some additional sourcing, though.   Montanabw (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - White Arabian Filly was kind enough to leave me a note on this matter. This is what I wrote to her:


 * Keep -- re-evaluate in a few months to see if the article meets GNG. Appears notable for now but needs additional secondary source, or the non-blue linked names should be removed. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:28, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
