Delete: as per nom. Even the relatives cited (although this does NOT confer notability in any event, I am just illustrating here) -- "He is the Great nephew of former rider Dave Perks and son of former referee Robbie Perks" -- don't have articles. Quis separabit? 11:06, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies WP:GNG, WP:RS, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], plus multiple articles in Speedway Star. The relatives cited don't have articles because nobody has created them, not necessarily because they're not notable - either way that has no bearing on this subject's notability. Perks rides in the SGB Premiership - the highest league of professional speedway in the UK. --Michig (talk) 08:26, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment They're just passing mentions, no article really that discusses subject matter Zazzysa (talk) 09:14, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No they're not. --Michig (talk) 09:16, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources provided by Michig, which are more than just passing mentions. Lepricavark (talk) 11:51, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
