I have had a draft on this subject sitting in my sandbox since December and the reason I hadn't added it to mainspace then is the reason why I am nominating this article now; WP:GNG is still not met and the driver's accomplishments don't pass WP:NMOTORSPORT. Appears to have been added on the premise of him attempting (and fialing) to qualify for a single 2nd-tier NASCAR race in an attempt to make a database on NASCAR drivers, which Wikipedia is not (hence the use of infobox:NASCAR driver in mainspace as opposed to infobox:racing driver that should be used for a driver who's actually made starts in IMSA and Trans-Am). -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 04:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

- Comment - I think he does meet the new version of WP:NMOTORSPORT, but this could be more a reflection of oversights in that guideline than it is of his notability. Twice winner of the Trans Am TA2 class and winner of the IMSA LMP3 class I think both count towards point 5b in NMOTORSPORT. But I can't find much coverage of him, and it's mostly routine, eg [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Note that some of this was from before he won the LMP3 title. So I'm not sure at the moment, perhaps that part of NMOTORSPORT needs to be rewritten, perhaps he is notable enough. A7V2 (talk) 06:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 06:59, 23 May 2022 (UTC)- Draftify - not enough biographical info to be considered for a mainspace article. As it is right now it looks like just a results list with nothing much else, which can easily be found on driverdb. ~XyNqtc 16:29, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
