Norm Ellefson

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

Reads like one huge copy-vio (although I can find no evidence). I think this page needs to be restarted from scratch.

(All the images in the article claim to be "not copyrighted" even though some are from newspapers. Presently unsure how to approach removing the images, which are both here and at commons.) Eventually all listed for deletion. Ian ¹³ /t  09:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And I vote delete despite the transformation to a stub, now for notability. (The 2 significant races he entered for he didn't qualify.) Ian ¹³  /t  09:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral - I know nothing about car racing so the bloke may well be very notable but most of the article is a huge rambling stream of consciousness written in an extremely unencyclopedic style and in the first person (pretty much everything bar the first paragraph was added in one edit by User:Nellefson so it is likely an autobiography) and illustrated with pics which claim to be free use but almost certainly aren't. Suggest that all of this be removed as completely unencylopedic, remaining stub might then be OK...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So are you saying delete then restore stub, because that sounds sensible to me. Ian ¹³  /t  10:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I reckon just delete everything from "it all began for me" onwards, then the resultant stub should be OK to keep as is...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems to me like a perfect remedy. Keep the biographical facts, delete the novella.--Slashme (talk) 11:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Have done as suggested and changed page to a stub. Now I'm wondering if it fails WP:N.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpmuk (talk • contribs) 13:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
