I declined an A7 nomination because the article contains citations to four articles from an apparent reliable source, Tulsa World, though the text did not give me great hope this could meet notability on the merits. I was able to locate one of the four Tulsa World articles in that newspaper's online archive, and have linked it in the article. As you can see, though it's cited eight times in the article for all manner of specific detailed content, it miserably fails verification, containing seven words about him. This makes me trust the use of the other cited sources not at all. Meanwhile, I have performed Google Book and News Archive searches and found nothing at all.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:26, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete It was I who tagged it, on the basis that the sources cited were about activities that would not rationally make anyone significant. "Truck Driver of the Year" might sound possible, were it a national award, not a state award by the Oklahoma Motor Carriers Association. I admit I did not check them;  Fuhghettaboutit properly declined my A7, and did check them, with the results he reports. I think the principle involved is NOT MEMORIAL. The ed. who accepted the AfC did the author no favor by accepting--our usual standard there  is not just passing speedy, but not likely to be challenged at AfD.

 * Delete Doesn't seem a particularly notable individual. Winning some regional contest doesn't pass guidelines.  Rcsprinter  (natter)  @ 23:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree that it probably doesn't meet speedy criteria, but notability seems nonexistent. The article seems to be little but praise of the individual's life. Ducknish (talk) 00:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
