[edit] Adam Spence (race driver)

Adam Spence (race driver) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Can anybody explain why is this person notable and when has competing in a road-rally made a driver notable other than those who competed and is already notable before that. I have attempted to CSD but an editor removed the tag, so therefore I'll have o choice but to nominate this. Moosato Cowabata (talk) 18:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Driver and owner of a rallying team in a major NZ rallying series. He has class wins in notable races. The article should be moved to Adam Spence if this article is kept since disambiguation is not needed. Royalbroil 04:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

How would that be notable, the event may be but I don't see the drivers who competes other than those who are already are notable or other seriess, not with that unsourced claim. Moosato Cowabata (talk) 23:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm saying that drivers who have won in these series are notable because they won in that series. The win makes them inherently notable. Royalbroil 13:38, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

• Cautious keep I think he probably is notable, but at the moment the article is an orphan - the only link to it is a caption on a photo elsewhere. I think it needs a bit of time to include a few more links to the page, plus a few external references to define his notability. StephenBuxton (talk) 10:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Conditional keep per Royalbroil, provided references can be provided, agree that it needs moving. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 23:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
• weak keep per Royalbroil, although class winners may count but numerous of them in various motorsport events do not have an article, although I still doubt its notability as gooling "Adam Spence" Targa, many of these ghits are blogs, forums and web message posted by himself, as for now retain the {{notability}} tag to allow for improvement until a 3rd party reliable source is evident.
