This person doesn't seem to fulfill the GNG, I can't find any secondary sources for him or his company. There's this article but it was written by the subject so it hardly qualifies as secondary. The only thing I could find was a passing mention here but it barely mentions him. Not to mention the article is a mess and has been for years. – jfsamper ( talk • contrib • email ) 23:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Zero results in Proquest. Citobun (talk) 15:09, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources to support WP:GNG whatsoever. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:52, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep GIGO. Google has lots of sources. You are using the wrong names! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Your search link pulls in any result with the word "James." A better search just uses his much less common last name; that search proves that yes, he has raced powerboats, but doesn't do much to advance the notability claim; I don't see any links that meet WP:RS. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Or google "Serafino Cazzani" or Scuderia Cazzani" or Seraffino Cazzani. Clearly WP:GNG.  Can't be in the forefront of this sport without being there.
 * Indeed, the article as written presently lists multiple sources, to wit: A.P.B.A. Hall of Records; Ocean County Observer 6/89; 6/90 Propeller Magazine; Powerboat Magazine; and Vaportrails Magazine. And we should WP:AGF as to off line sources. This is not a sport that I (or any of you, I am guessing) happen to follow.  But per se that doesn't make it non-notable.  This is a systemic bias among our contributors. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 16:19, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I won't dispute that there are systemic bias issues in Wikipedia, but I don't think the sport of powerboating is a good example. It's just not a particularly popular sport.  Is it bias that we have large articles for NFL and Cricket players, but not for Jai Alai players? No, it's simply a function of popularity, and popularity is intrinsically tied to notability.

 * I was not being pejorative. It is popularity, but it is also tied to demographics.  That we edit wikipedia may make us less likely to gravitate toward this particular sport.  In any event, I am trying to come up with better citations for the paper mentioned in the article. I don't have access to high beam or jstor, and those may include the magazines. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 22:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

jfsamper, Citobun and User:Ohnoitsjamie Here is a  It includes 27 pages of material which gives the sources and should satisfy your quest for WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Given that you have now been brought to the light, time to reevaluate and for Speedy keep, I think. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 22:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC} Keep - article needs wholly re-written to sound more encyclopedic and less like a fan page, but seems notable enough.
