WP:NOTABILITY. Driver has only contested a handful of races in entry level categories. As a side note, this also represents a wider problem with WP:MOTOR in that more and more drivers without notability are getting articles. MSportWiki (talk) 00:13, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

:Freddie Slater is one of the greatest kart racers of all time. According to Ayrton Senna, it is more difficult to win a karting championship than to win a Formula 1 championship.

:Freddie Slater is destined to become another Lando Norris within 3 to 4 years.

:I don't see why his page should be deleted while so many other unknown drivers have a Wikipedia page. IntelligereOmnia (talk) 00:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

::Karting and Formula 4 do not meet WP:NOTABILITY. A drivers' potential is also not valid grounds for an article. MSportWiki (talk) 02:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

:* {{tq|is destined to become another Lando Norris within 3 to 4 years.}}

:: Then in 3 to 4 years, we have an article on him. But per WP:CRYSTAL, we don't do it beforehand. We're not here to do tips. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:12, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

• Draftify. I do agree that he isn't notable at the moment but he has a lot of Wikipedia:POTENTIAL and should therefore be kept as a draft.Formula Downforce (talk) 07:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete - Another creepy article about a child competing in very low-level motorsport events. Lack of non-WP:ROUTINE coverage from independent sources that I can see. Falls foul of WP:NOTDATABASE and the subject at most seems to be notable for WP:ONEEVENT. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 09:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete per argument of HumanBodyPiloter5 - Slater is a 15-year-old minor. RegalZ8790 (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
• Draftify. I second Formula Downforce's argument. KVYTICAL (talk) 16:49, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
• Draftify. Formula Downforce makes a good argument. BurningBlaze05 (talk) 8:52, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
