Proposed for deletion beacuse "His name plus motocross gives three Google hits, no news or books hits. No reliable independent sources about him are available. Where the new info (post 1977) comes from is very unclear. Fails WP:ATHLETE." Prod removed because "won 1977 National Championship". However, I can't find evidence that the "National Motocross Association" was ever the "highest level of a sport", despite its name. The main body for motocross in the USA is the American Motorcyclist Association. He isn't listed on the "Every champion that ever was" page[1]. So no evidence that he is notable from any available sources, and no evidence that the title he won is in any way notable. Fram (talk) 08:58, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- delete based on content. Yeah, content normally isn't a deletion issue, but this article is so poorly written that I believe it does more harm than good for Wikipedia. Further, only offline sources are given thus making it very unlikely that the article will be improved.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
