Autobiography (based on the username of the main editor and his blog) and unverifiable claims of notability. Various posts as editor/photographer/producer in the television or NASCAR industry don't account him as being notable and neither do "local Emmy awards" Maashatra (talk) 16:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete If they want to provide links to more bodies of information I'd be all for keeping but this article is little more than someone trying to pad Internet Search Engines. --Changer (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - were the article to be appropriately sourced, he may fall within the notability guidelines on the basis of his continuing contribution to NASCAR journalism. Maybe.  But at present it's entirely unsourced, so therefore fails WP:N, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and it also has problems under WP:BLP which recommends the immediate removal of all unsourced statements from the biographies of living people, which in this case would require blanking the article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:45, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
