Scott Shearman[edit]

Would not appear to meet the WP:ATHLETE notability guidelines. Note that the Bathurst 24 hour race is not the same as the much more famous Bathurst 1000 race, and the article is slightly misleading as Shearman was only one driver on the team that came third - he did not do so all by himself.

Comment - Hopeless article, even for a stub, but if reliable sources can be found then this does sound like he passes WP:ATHLETE. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 23:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason to say that the Bathurst 24 Hour was not a fully professional competition at the top level of the sport? If not then keep as satisfying WP:ATHLETE. Duffbeerforme (talk) 14:22, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the race was only run twice before being cancelled due to the collapse of the organising body. While there were some professional drivers involved, many of the entrants were weekend drivers from local racing competitions. I don't believe that you could qualify it as a "fully professional" competition for these reasons. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Why isn't this speedied? Doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:ATHLETE, and there are two sentences saying who this guy is. Should be nuked on {{db-nocontent}} or {{db-nocontext}}. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 14:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
