Fails WP:NMOTORSPORT, all sources are directory-style and do not show notability.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 23:25, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Doesn't meet WP:NMOTORSPORT or WP:GNG and I can't find any sources that are reliable.  NASCARfan0548  ↗  00:27, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is some WP:ROUTINE coverage of him but I couldn't find anything else. Interesting that even an article covering a race win barely mentions him, instead focussing on someone who didn't win . A7V2 (talk) 00:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.  Royal broil  00:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete because of what everyone above said and this: All these sources are from Racing-Reference, which should go in a results table (which there is none right now), but we need actual articles. It will be definitely be hard to find that for someone who has only competed in a lower-level series like the Modified Tour. Abele's best race finish is a 5th place, once. His next best is 12th and seemed to finish mostly below 15th. I appreciate your effort and desire to create the article, GamemasterDael, but there's just not enough info.

I just Web Archived the article so that after it gets deleted, you can see what the article looked like when it was still here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200430023503/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Abele_Jr.
 * , please conduct a WP:BEFORE search before voting in future AfDs. Not disputing your vote but merely saying "sources are going to be hard to find" doesn't cut it. Actually look for said sources and then make a decision on what you can and cannot find.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 13:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
