Person is non-notable, article is written by User:DocChopper (not a problem in itself), notability tag deleted. Only assertion to notability is a Press Release from a charity who auctioned one of the subject's bikes after it was donated by Cindy Margolis. My Google searches have turned up no notable or reliable sources to help back up this article. My recommendation is to delete. Siobhan Hansa 18:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I came across this article and echo her thoughts. I note from his talk page that he has created similar articles in the past that have been deleted or are currently under review. I have also had a quick search, again with no notable or reliable sources relating to this subject. I have noted that User:DocChopper has posted the below on the Doc Chopper Talk page.Suncloud 20:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The catagory of Art Vehicles begs an explanation. Doc Chopper and his kind, Custom Chopper Bicycle Designers are noteworthy as current events. Multiple format changes have been made to the article, and quotes from newspaper articles that have been archived by the source, are being prepaired. The Custom Chopper Industry is in its primary stage, yet does not need to be ignored. I fought to distinguish chopper bicycles from lowrider bicycles successfully, I think current information about an associated artist is noteworthy.
- Weak delete If it is important to the cyclists, there will surely be reviews in their magazines. Keep if even one good truly independent source. If not, wait till there is. DGG 09:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
