 * Delete. Not notable. Three references, one of which appears to be a book promotion. The others are essentially company organs. Essentially WP:SPAM, WP:PR for company. Student7 (talk) 00:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 00:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: For one thing, I'm unaware of any valid ground for retention based on whether racing drivers patronized the establishment or not, and invite Northmetpit to post a link citing any ... what, is the local pub next to the track automatically notable because some drivers allegedly ate there? (I use "allegedly," by the bye, because Northmetpit proffers no evidence to back up his assertion that "many" racing drivers learned their trade there.) The only valid reference fails to mention the subject in "significant detail," as the GNG and other relevant policies and guidelines require. I agree that Mr. Hamilton is notable, but of course notability is not inherited.  A search on Google UK returned a miniscule 68 hits, comprised of this article and various Wiki mirrors, and trivial references on other websites and blogs.  Would anyone care to post references from reliable, independent, published sources discussing the subject in significant detail?   Ravenswing  13:39, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Better constructed searches such as this web and this news search find plenty more sources such as this article in The Daily Telegraph. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:01, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
