I can't find any significant coverage in independent reliable sources for any of these truck racers, hence I believe that they all should be deleted. The-Pope (talk) 08:12, 26 March 2011 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons:


 * Delete Total lack of reliable third party coverage for all five of these gentlemen. Not notable. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  08:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sportspeople-related deletion discussions.  -- • Gene93k (talk) 15:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Do not delete:



They can both be found on http://pickuptruckracing.com/drivers.phtml official website and are both competing in this years championship.


 * Delete



as neither has competed for more than two seasons. Violentbob (talk) 07:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Notability isn't temporary - current or past is irrelevant. Is there any significant coverage in independent reliable sources? The-Pope (talk) 15:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Mumford and Briggs both featured on Motors TV when race coverage has been shown over the past few years, need to find actual air dates though which will take a little research. Should be able to find air ates for 2011 though? Please leave them be for 24 hours while I have a look? Violentbob (talk) 09:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete all. I can't find any third party coverage for the series, let alone the drivers. This is club racing for amateur drivers. Nothing wrong with that, but there is never going to be "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Note that multiple sources are usually required. I'm not sure Motors TV (cable/satellite-only minority TV channel) is really independent of the topic - and if the coverage of the driver is a brief one-off interview, or just in-race footage, I don't see how that can be counted as 'notable'. 4u1e (talk) 20:36, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete all. As it stands, the articles are unreferenced stubs, which fail to provide any indication of notability. The question is not 'have they appeared on TV' but whether they have significant coverage in multiple independent sources. Without this, it is impossible to write anything more than the briefest of stubs on them. AlexJ (talk) 08:55, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
