Michael Holmes (motocross)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable purported motocross rider. While sources are tough to pore over, it looks as if almost none at all outside of Wiki mirrors exist for Mr. Holmes, let alone reliable ones, and even applying WP:ATHLETE to this article, the article never alleges that he competed beyond amateur county competitions. Article is the sole Wikipedia activity of User:Bchillin54, its creator. Fails WP:BIO, WP:V.  RGTraynor  14:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can find no significant coverage from independent reliable sources (after getting him confused with a skydiver for a while). Nothing to suggest that this would pass WP:ATHLETE guidelines. Also appears to be an autobiography judging from the intimate details provided.-- Beloved Freak  15:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - no reliable sources to estblish notability. Based on the article text, he didn't really make the step up to competing in the top level of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 18:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Evil Spartan (talk) 00:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete As said above, notability not established per limited coverage in reliable sources. — 97198   talk  06:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
