Ugo Ugochukwu
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable young racing driver, fails WP:GNG and WP:NMOTORSPORT. A much more in-depth article about the same person was deleted last month. John B123 (talk) 17:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep I think this article shouldn't be deleted because he just signed a deal with McLaren Racing and I guess he is notable now R obert Jamal  …talk to me💬 17:51, 24 March 2021 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Robertjamal12 (talk • contribs)  is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

 * Comment - I'm not saying he is sufficently notable, but the fact that he just signed for McLaren, something that was widly reported across F1 media, makes him significantly more notable than he when the first nomination succeeded.18:20, 24 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSSB (talk • contribs)
 * Delete: Lacks notability. Aasim (talk) 20:31, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Too Soon may have signed with Mclaren but still too early to see if more than a one off event to prove notability.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Move to draft space or similar (keeping current sources preserved at the very least). If anything vaguely approaching the current level of coverage continues then the subject can be presumed notable. At the moment WP:BLP and WP:BIO1E concerns are obvious but it's rare to see any kart racer receive any level of significant coverage from independent reliable sources whatsoever.

 * It could be years until he becomes notable. Draft space has a six month ceiling. There is also very little worth preserving (it's a 3 sentence stub). Wouldn't it be better to delete and we can go to WP:REFUND, 5, 6 years down the line in the unlikly event we can't find something? SSSB (talk) 10:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete again. Recent coverage focuses on the announcement, not the subject, and signing to a driver development program is not inherently notable. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 23:28, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * While it isn't inherently notable it has received a substantial amount of coverage. If Ugochukwu's actual karting career receives any substantial coverage from independent reliable sources in the next few months then we'll have grounds to create an actual article. Since him merely being signed to the programme has received so much coverage I don't think it's unreasonable to say that such continued coverage may occur, as karting usually receives little to no coverage from such sources, even specialist ones like Autosport. However as it stands I agree that the subject of this article is not independently notable separate from the programme. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 07:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. As the subject is not meeting general notability criteria. Iflaq  (talk) 11:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
