WP:BLP of a borderline notable subject. The two sources given in the article (the Herald and STV) seem to be the only sources out there on this subject which could be considered significant and independent. This Daily Record article briefly quotes the article's subject, but the quote is regarding the Knockhill circuit and not the subject of this article. If this were not a WP:BLP then I would probably consider this article to squeak through the WP:GNG, but as it stands my concern for potentially-defamatory vandalism in BLPs leads me to believe that sufficient notability has not been established.

Delete - White GNG is met (only barely), the very low notability of his achievements and low WP:POTENTIAL for further notability does not warrant an article on Wikipedia. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 18:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I would say neither source is remotely SIGCOV. The first is 4 brief non-quote sentences, the second has just ~130 words directly on him and is written by a "Media/PR advisor for leading motor racing drivers currently competing in UK and Europe", so may very well not be independent, either.
