Peter Rees (racer)
not very notable go-karter. Page created by me using extraneous material which had been posted into [Peter Rees]. No vote, just listing for others to decide BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - WP:BIO says Sportspeople/athletes who have played in a fully professional league qualify for an article. He obviously does. --Daniel Olsen 18:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * No longer a go-karter, subject is now a Formula Renault driver. I question whether Formula Renault fits into the intent of "a fully professional league", as it's a minor-league training series, and I doubt anyone lives off the driver's portion of the race winnings.  Article lacks cited sources to indicate any featured coverage as either an accomplished kart racer or an entry-level formula-car racer.  No vote pending sources.  Barno 20:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, we are not going to have articles on every athlete in a professional league. A top-level professional league for a popular sport, sure. But if it's either a non-top-level league (like this) or a not very popular sport, then that's just silly. Recury 22:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per above. Professional sportsperson. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
