not notable Someidiot (talk) 10:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Per lengthy comment I posted on the talk page (anonymously), the subject is not notable per WP:N. The AIS was a minor semi-pro series, and the only other drivers or champions to have their own articles are notable for other reasons. Another, uncited, claim to notability, being the producer of a reality show is also insufficient as there is no indication of the show actually having been made in 2 years.

Sorry, that should be AIS. The fact that there is no redirect for the uncapitalized version would seem to bolster the argument that the series itself is of marginal importance, and that being a champion is not sufficiently notable for inclusion. Someidiot (talk) 10:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Subject fails WP:ATHLETE as he has not competed in the top level of the sport, only competed as an amateur. Angryapathy (talk) 14:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete AIS was not a professional series. Also, I am a founding member of WikiProject American Open Wheel Racing where this article would belong and I'm confident in saying I'm an expert in the subject matter. -Drdisque (talk) 00:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
