[edit] Adriano Valente

Did not compete in any racing other than Karts, which are the lowest level of motorsports. No evidence of claimed races in the US. Possible vanity. Drdisque 04:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Racers are not required to have competed in races in the US. Winning a major national title outside the US is also notable. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I was not saying that he was required to have participated in the US, I was saying that his claimed accomplishments in the US should not be considered because the series that the editor claims he raced in there are either indeciferable or do not exist. -Drdisque 12:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete. The lead makes enough claims: "Valente won the Italian Karting Championship (UISP) in the junior category in 1994, took part at the 1995, 1996 and 1997 European and World Karting Championships (FIA/CIK). He also tested a number of Formula-3 and Formula-3000 cars for different teams in Europe." And while karting may be the lowest level of motorsports, winning a national competition in it (even at junior level) would in my view be notable, but I have doubts it is verifiable and the image leads me to lean to vanity. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - winning a junior competiton as a 13 year old does not convey notability and he seems to have achieved nothing significant since. Little in the way of relevant GHits. Bridgeplayer 20:21, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
