This article fails to meet the core policy of verifiability. The article makes a couple of claims for notability. The first claim is as a race car driver. The second claim as a professional hockey player. Neither claim is backed up by reliable sources in the article. My own searches were unable to find any information to corroborate these claims.

Looking at him as a race car driver, I can find no coverage about his entry in an international rally in New Zealand that asserts had coverage in multiple media. Not am I able to find any other information about his racing career in the United States.

Looking at his hockey career, I again can find no mention of professional hockey player by the name of Kelvin Wright. The Internet Hockey Database [1] has no record of him. Whpq (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I'm very confused. There is a Kelvin Wright from New Zealand who is a rugby star. There is also a Kelvin Wright from New Zealand who was involved in rally driving but the articles about him are from the 1990's, when this man had apparently moved to America to pursue hockey. There doesn't seem to be any notability as the article stands. However, if I could be assured the two Kelvin Wrights were the same I'd change the article and update my vote to keep.

  • Comment - Do you have any links for the rally car driver from the 90's? I was unable to find anything like that and it appears you've had a bit more success. -- Whpq (talk) 21:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
