Fails general notability guideline. A search turns up no reliable independent sources regarding the subject, only his racing team website along with a host of Wikipedia mirrors. Sable232 (talk) 23:53, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete : I agree with the rationale of Sable232, many references are found upon search but none meet significant coverage of Koehler except 1 TV news interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuu1emmaNLA), all others I found are just a mention as a competitor in what appears to be local races. This page has been around for 15+ years so subject matter experts should weigh in and add sources if needed. If notified of new WP:RS sources with significant coverage I would revise this vote.

• Speedy keep: The statement that a search returns "no reliable independent sources" is not correct. A Google news search returned many including Detroit Free Press. An interested editor could improve this article. —¿philoserf? (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I ran his professional name through a search and got only fan sites, blogs, and event listings. These generally don't meet WP:RS for reliable independent coverage as the content is self-generated with no fact checking or editorial oversite. Blue Riband► 11:57, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I have not found any evidence of the claimed coverage.
