Initially this article was created with significantly promotional language and some key statements unreferenced which may have been sufficient for a CSD. The controversial statements have been removed. However the concern remains about the promotional nature of the article. Some references remain questionable as self-published. While the references provided (and search results I found) establish his existence and confirm some facts, notability is questionable as the references are about cases he is involved in, quoting him, but none of the articles are actually ABOUT him. Essentially this is run of the mill a lawyer doing his job. Also, high profile clients don't create notability as this is not inherited _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 16:09, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This has suffered the usual deficiencies of a vanity bio since its creation, and merits watching for WP:COI involvement. Whatever the notability may be as an attorney, he's not notable as a race driver. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:51, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Vanity bio is an accurate summary. I've fixed a factual error in the article; while finishing on the 6th place team at the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans might be enough for notability as a race driver, his team was actually 36th of 37 finishing teams. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:47, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
