The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. It was previously prodded by It was deprodded by User:McGeddon for similar reasons, endorsed by User:NickW557 and deprodded by creator User:Stefan99mecom with no rationale. Not all sportspeople are notable, and I don't see this one - who started their career seemingly last year - winning anything, or getting any serious coverage. Being mentioned in passing as one of the drivers in a minor event seems, so far, the best I can find. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems very much like a WP:VANITY bio with sources such as facebook, blogs, etc. I am not seeing any independent, reliable coverage, the few minor newspaper mentions are articles written by her, not about her. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but nominators typically don't talk to themselves like this. Per WP:AFDFORMAT, "[n]omination already implies that the nominator recommends deletion (unless indicated otherwise), and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line." Also, isn't this a "he"?  Rebbing    talk   13:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Of course, I messed up: this vote was intended for another AfD, I must have messed editing... moving there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:44, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hah, that makes a lot more sense. Cheers!  Rebbing    talk   10:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: The specific notability guideline for motorsports is WP:NMOTORSPORT. I don't have time to look into it properly, but a cursory look suggests that the subject doesn't meet either that specific guideline or the more general notability guidelines.  Rebbing    talk   14:05, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as endorser of the contested PROD. Fails WP:GNG as the coverage is trivial and passing in nature.  There's no indication of, and I've been unable to locate, any significant coverage about the subject.  Additionally, the subject-specific criteria at WP:NMOTORSPORT don't appear to have been met. --Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 05:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
