Maya Weug

 * – ( View AfD View log )

New Formula 4 driver lacking significant coverage, and failing the standards set by WP:GNG, WP:YOUNGATH, and WP:NMOTORSPORT. Yes, she is the first female driver to be signed to the FDA, but that did not attract meaningful coverage and Wikipedia is not a means of promotion or a soapbox. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 08:35, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly meets the WP:GNG. This looks like a WP:BEFORE failure to me. Looking at the larger picture: as with Maya Weug, breaking the glass ceiling often receives WP:SIGCOV. It would be sad if women pioneers had no place on WP. The history that women are making should not be reduced to a soapbox. gidonb (talk) 13:18, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Neutral - A fairly large number of reliable, independent sources do seem to exist; however most of them seem to be primarily focusing on the Ferrari Driver Academy and the broader history of women in motorsport and not on Maya Weug specifically. However, there may be sources in other languages which are more detailed and would fully establish notability. Within the broader context of a large number of WP:BLPs about young racing drivers being created and my ethical concerns regarding that I'm inclined to lean towards calling this WP:TOOSOON, but I suspect that my concerns about those other articles may be clouding my judgement regarding this one.

 * The sources, national through international and VERY important, specifically, explicitly, and elaborately say that Maya Weug is making history. That's a HUGE contrast with race car drivers receiving local interest. gidonb (talk) 16:47, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I found CNN ("Maya Weug becomes first female driver to earn a spot in the Ferrari Driver Academy"), BBC Sport ("Ferrari: Maya Weug becomes team's first female academy driver") and Italy 24 ("German F4 | First top-10 for Maya Weug in Austria – Formule") coverage that focuses on Weug.

 * Thank you, it seems like there are indeed enough sources for Weug to be included. I obviously didn't do a thorough check for sources, so I apologise for my misjudgement in this nomination, and I will withdraw it. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 03:43, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
