Jeff Collier

The sources that you have used for the article about him are only the English Wikipedia plus the NASCAR Wiki. Neither are reliable sources. He only peaked in the Dash Series, which is generally considered non-notable. You can defeat that suggestion by providing multiple independent reliable sources in articles in the topic, but you have not produced any to my counting. I have proposed deletion of the article based on it having no reliable sources and that he didn't acquire high enough notability to meet WP:ATHLETE. Royalbroil 22:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I removed 3 references to unreliable sources. You do have one solid reference that everyone should agree shows some notability. So I'm not going to propose deleting it anymore. Please add reliable sources for the rest of the article. Like I said, Wikipedia is not reliable. Some articles are written using reliable sources - it's up to you go back to them if they are available to source the content that you added. The Third Turn is a Wiki of user created content that probably even less reliable than Wikipedia. The person/people that created the Third Turn used to be in WikiProject NASCAR with me and I worked with them several years ago. Some of the tone in the Third Turn is biased toward a viewpoint (editorializing). Stuff like ...he only had 1 Top 10 finish in 36 starts... (only - that's one more than what I did) Royalbroil 05:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
