Peter Franklin Jr. (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article on non-notable 16 year old racing car driver. This article has been speedy deleted 4 times and in its latest form still contains no independent sources asserting notability. Mattinbgn/ talk 05:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment It's not clear to me what standard the '2007 Formula Australian Championship' is. Is it a junior championship? --Malcolmxl5 07:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable amateur driver (auto racing is my specialty area of WP and this article clearly doesn't cut the mustard). Page should be protected. -Drdisque 08:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete OK, I cannot find significant or independent coverage of Peter Franklin Jr. The article has been deleted four times and should not have been re-created without substantial revision, especially the use of independent sources. The content, which is also here[1] and here[2], appears to be personal promotion; is User:Pirtek Peter Franklin? Still, putting it up in three places after it's been deleted four times, could be called spamming. Delete and salt. Come back when you've made it in ChampCar, Peter. --Malcolmxl5 08:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and salt Fails WP:BIO, and the many recreations of the article require salting (e.g., one deletion says the user was evading a block, so we can assume continued persistence here). Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 17:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A non-notable biography that fails WP:BIO — Wenli (contribs) 23:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The author, User:Pirtek, gives some references on his user page. — Wenli (contribs) 23:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment They are the same references as those included in the article and none of them are independent of the subject and each other. One of them is a dead link. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 00:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Article contains no references from reliable sources and I can find none. It amused me that the article states that Franklin was born in 1991 and his career as a racing car driver began in 1994 which seems implausible. Capitalistroadster 02:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Note to closing administrator - the same content is also at Peter Franklin, a redirect at Peter Franklin Jr. as well as Peter Franklin Jr. Also it may be worth looking at Pirtek (talk · contribs) and Vortex Racing (talk · contribs). Their edit patterns are suspiciously similar. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 04:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment And further it appears that Vortex Racing (talk · contribs) is (or least claims to be) Peter Franklin Jr. himself. see here. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 04:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
