deletion rationale: As a non-professional development driver, he has not received the recognition needed to meet WP:ATHLETE. Sources provided are not sufficient to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Contested PROD. 66.57.4.150 (talk) 14:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

(Finishing nom for unregistered editor. No opinion (yet) on deletion.) Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  15:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC) *Weak Keep, subject of article meets general notability guidelines, but not by much, with additional references could be changed to KEEP, but I can understand why this doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Changing my vote due to delete, due to further review, and not meeting part 1 of basic criteria. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I have added additional references. Take a look and tell me what you think. This should give some more credibility with regards to the WP:ATHLETE. --(talk) 7:31pm Oct 12, 2009. —Preceding undated comment added 02:32, 13 October 2009 (UTC).
 * Weak Keep - just meets WP:GNG. The article needs a re-write, fix the tone and style. Crafty (talk) 18:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC) Delete per those below. Crafty (talk) 05:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Question: How does the article show that GNG has been meet? The refs list his name - nothing else. No significant coverage has been provided ("sources a008-01-24ddress the subject directly in detail"). 66.57.4.150 (talk) 20:34, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well it doesn't if one actually reads WP:GNG. Frankly it's rather inconvenient of you to point that out. Crafty (talk) 05:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, and encourage those arguing to keep to recheck the sources. The six "reference" sources have literally no more mention of him than his name in a list. Of the external links, one is his self-published website, the second doesn't even mention his name, and the third had a directory entry. The general notability guideline requires not only that there be a good number of sources, but that those sources be substantive. There's nothing substantive here.

 * Delete He's only a local driver at this point who competes at one of the many NASCAR-sanctioned local tracks throughout the United States. It would be different if he were a developmental driver for a NASCAR Cup team, but he's not according to the article.  Royal  broil  01:44, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
