Chip Yates

Non-notable autobiography, few Google hits and no Google news hits. Prod was removed by swigzracing, a group affiliated with the subject. CyberGhostface (talk) 13:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The links are pretty much just single appearances of his name, and the article talks just as much about his personal life (not really notable for a racer) as his racing one. The article doesn't really include much linking and I'm not even sure the competitions he's been in are notable. Vincent Valentine 16:43, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article clearly does not meet the notability guidelines, and is not reliable sourced beyond trivial coverageTroyster87 (talk) 02:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable, no sources. Article appears to be autobiographical in nature. Deconstructhis (talk) 04:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is an easy one. According to Mr. Yates' own career highlights listed in his article, he is pretty unremarkable. This includes "Receives AMA Professional Roadracing License...", "First experience...", and a couple of 4th place finishes. that's pretty much "it." --Quartermaster (talk) 16:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy If he's indeed hired to drive in the AMA Superbike Championship, it's only a matter of time before he competes and passes the criteria without objections. I suggest we move this to the userspace and give the user in question some guidance on the relevant policies so they can improve their WP editing. (If not improved in a couple of months I'd support renomination) - Mgm|^(talk) 10:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
