- Delete. Per nom, do not see how WP:BASIC is met. A search in Irish sources, both north and south (like in the Irish Times or the Irish Independent or Belfast Telegraph or The News Letter or Irish News) returns nothing at all. Not, seemingly, even trivial passing mentions. A Google search is also similarly sparse. And, while such this Google search returns a handful of sources that support some of the basics in the text (like this and this which confirm that the subject is/was a professional drift driver), they do not support a claim to notability. (The only result, of any kind, that is even borderline, is this apparent coverage in The Daily Mirror newspaper (UK). But that's not enough on its own.) The seemingly COI/SPA/NOTWEBHOST nature of the article's creation does little to help matters. Mine is a "delete" recommendation. Guliolopez (talk) 12:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
