This article is about a car racing pit crew coach with insufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. This item is the most substantial. It provides a little biographical information (some of it incorrect as I can find no evidence he played in the NFL and the wikipedia article states it was college ball), but is primarily quoting his opinion and then moves on to other people's opinions. This item is a mention of his name has having been released. The article is dated 2005-05-19 which is at odds with the claim in the wikipedia article of him holding the position from 2004-2006. Aside from that, I can find nothing of substance to support notability. Whpq (talk) 15:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge with Dale Jarrett, no information on Salerno there, if it is verifiable that he is crew coordinator could improve that article. — J04n(talk page) 13:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - There's not much verifiable information to merge. This article was completely unsourced, and the only sourcing I could find are the two items I listed in the nomination.  The most substantial one is actually of questionable reliability given that it states he was an NFL player.  The other item just states that he was released and the date doesn't jibe with the dates in the article.  I had considered a merge but there's no clearly verifiable information to merge. -- Whpq (talk) 15:02, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree, if not verifiable by reliable sources it should go without merge or redirect. — J04n(talk page) 15:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete there's nothing to merge. Pit crew coach is a very minor position on a race team -Drdisque (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per above and he is not notable. Only the driver and crew chief (+owner) are notable in this situation.  Nascar  1996   23:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
