WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E. The only noticable thing this driver did was dying. Nothing of encyclopedic merit. T v x1 12:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Low-profile individual who, as nom pointed out, only made news for dying. ~~The sources could all be added into a section titled "Death of David Ferrer" in 2017 FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship, but~~ there shouldn't be any trace of an article on him. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 20:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable. Competed in only 21 races in four years in a nondescript career and is only known for his death. ~~Certainly deserves a mention in the article of the race in which he perished but that's it.~~ sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 21:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There isn’t even an article on the race in question. That’s how non-notable this series is. T v x1 08:47, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to 2017 FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship - Subject notable only for WP:ONEEVENT. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 10:41, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I struck part of my !vote; I'm having trouble finding sources for this series that the subject participated in that meet WP:GNG. No point in adding these WP:ROUTINE news sources to an article which itself lacks SIGCOV and which I'll be bringing up to AfD myself. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 17:18, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable enough for a stand alone article. Doesn't seem worth redirecting to 2017 FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship, as I agree that that article doesn't look notable, and will probably end up being deleted (it's also at AFD now).
