Article about an amateur race driver. Article states that he is a three times National Champion in hillclimbing in Bosnia and Herzegovina in his category of cars. This is sourced with an article in a local newspaper Google tranlation from Croatian. Following WP:NMOTORSPORT he is not notable, as he is an amateur. Is being a National Champion in a category of a niche sport (hillclimbing) enough for WP:NSPORTS? Researches don't give him enough hits for meeting GNG. This is a Wiedergänger, deleted per CSD in November. Ben Ben (talk) 01:07, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Doesn't meet WP:NSPORTS in my opinion. I can't find any information on the series he's supposed to be a three time champion of. It would appear the significance of this article is limited to Bosnia. If you Google him the best I can find are a bunch of links to YouTube and another article claiming he holds a "track record." The track isn't signigant either though by Wikipedia standards. I say the article should be deleted. Sabre ball t c 13:44, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The significance of lots of things may be limited to a certain area, but notability is notability. WP:ITSLOCAL. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment If this article is kept, two things have to be cleared:
 * The article currently uses an infobox that is designed for Formula One drivers. This causes links directing onto pages that are F1-related but lack any relation to Bosnian hill climbing championship.
 * What is Bosnian hill climbing championship in general and what is this category H15/E1+2000? What are the rules and how many competitors are participating there? To me this category name sounds very specific. Maybe he is so successful because he is the only competitor. ;) 217.227.119.114 (talk) 20:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. This driver may be notable, as a multiple-time champion - it depends on if the H15/E1+2000 category is fully professional or not, in which case he'd meet WP:NMOTORSPORT #1. However verifiability is an issue here; I can't find anything to prove or disprove notability, and with the overall lack of sources, 'default to keep' founders on V. So probably deleting is necessary now, but without prejudice to recreation if Bosnian sources can be found later. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
