Non-notable collector, most of what I can find are passing mentions or unrelated (ie. Steve McQueen + charger) or interviews. This seems like a vanity piece but also definitely fails GNG. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No significant coverage. Jmertel23 (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He has some local press like Ramona Journal, The San Diego Union-Tribune, so might be notable. -- Gprscrippers (talk) 17:39, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He has minor coverage in hyper-local papers which don't really lend themselves to notability in the slightest. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:23, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also not really coverage, it's a passing mention. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I am the author of the page. I have added more citations since this discussion started. Subject passes WP:SIGCOV in my opinion. I do think there is more here for the community to develop. Roxiehart1903 (talk) 04:28, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Soft Keep Passes GNG in my opinion. Even though notability is local, there are car shows named after him and he seems to be a celebrity in the automobile world. I must say, the article is NOT well written. I have added some references that I found but there should be a separate section on his car shows. That is the crux of his notability. I have added some info but will edit more. Globe2trotter (talk) 22:41, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You wanna provide sources for that? As in significant, non hyper local sources? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 01:13, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Passing mention and niche/regional coverage. (Best in-depth sources look pretty bad: [1], [2]). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:51, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per arguments of Chrissymad, Jmertel23, and Piotrus. No notability outside of very local sources. To pass WP:GNG, significant coverage is needed, not just a brief mention, and it has to be from reliable independent sources. I don't see that outside of very local sources. Even the "Soft Keep" argument of Globe2trotter reads a little bit more like an argument AGAINST keeping the article than in favor of it, to me, given all the problems it points out with this article. Being "a celebrity in the automotive world" is different from being "a celebrity" in the world as a whole, the first is not usually notable, the second pretty much always is.
