Article about insignificant driver, written like advertisement. Link to site that propose to sponsor racer is unacceptable for Wikipedia. Also article is orphan. Cybervoron (talk) 12:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as article fails WP:ATHLETE. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  12:48, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As the creator and author of most of this article, I had just the other day been considering getting this deleted, as I had contributed to the deletion of Glynn Geddie, who is far more notable. However, I am not happy with the way the nominating user has gone about this, as an act of revenge. Please see WT:MOTOR discussion for full details. I'd have rather been able to tag it for deletion myself, but now I can't. As for being like an advertisement, that link text was not added by me but by a more established editor, and as the rest of the text, yes it was modified from his own website. It was my first article - check the quality of the rest of my articles since and they'll be fine. Creating this was a mistake, hence why I was about to delete it anyway. What's wrong with a link to a driver's website? It's where I found the information, as can be seen by the references. I have no affilliation with him, I would not want to advertise the site, just provide it as a link for people to get more information. That is the whole point in external links. Besides, why are you adjusting your nomination to match the edits I made? The nomination should be about the article as a whole, not my edits. - mspete  93  16:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no particular desire to talk with you. Only to refute blatant lie. Because that add you isn't official site. Official site was added by other editor, that perfectly seen in your diff. Cybervoron (talk) 16:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment This petty squabble has no place in a deletion discussion. Who added the link does not matter one damn bit.  Discuss the merits of the article, not the editors.  And Cybervoron, do not edit other people's votes or reasoning, no matter your reasoning.  The359  ( Talk ) 17:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete? If the author of the article agrees that the subject is non-notable, does that qualify this for speedy delete?  David V Houston (talk) 16:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom and author's recommendation. The359  ( Talk ) 17:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Based on the article and the subject, this article doesn't meet inclusion criteria. May I suggest that some of the participants in this discussion take a moment to have a look through Civility and remind themselves of the standards expected of them in discussions with other editors.

 * Speedy delete per CSD G7 (see mspete93's above comment). Khoikhoi 02:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like his only claim to notability is having a cool idea and then failing at it. While sometimes failure can be notable, in this case it is not.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
