Unsourced article article, unverified individual, no notability asserted. I withdraw if someone can find sources. Mini stub with no external links or citations. Latinlover-sa (talk) 20:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable driver. Never placed higher than sixth, unable to locate non trivial coverage in reliable sources. Beeblbrox (talk) 21:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Athletes-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 16:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep: Competing in the Indy 500 certainly is a pass at WP:ATHLETE for competing at the highest level of his sport. [1]  RGTraynor 
• Comment without advice. He finished 29th in his only Indy 500, ahead of Mike Mosley and Dick Whittington, but behind Pete Halsmer, Bill Whittington, and Jerry Karl, amongst others. B.Wind (talk) 04:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• comment Still waiting for some sources to get this one past verifiability before we can even really address notability Beeblbrox (talk) 04:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Why not read the previous comments before weighing in? RGTraynor provided a source verifiability above. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

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

• Delete. Non-notable, no secondary sources.Renee (talk) 20:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. As previously stated the subject competed at the top level of his sport, and has been verified to have done so, so clearly pases WP:BIO. How successfully he competed is not a notablity criterion. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
