Article is cited to one source which is of unclear reliability. Cannot find significant RS coverage. Catrìona (talk) 08:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "Can't find RS coverage" Have you looked at Hot Rod or Car Craft or Street Rodder or Rod & Custom? Magoo has only been around 50yr in the business. Honestly, I really hate this ignorant crap, just delete anything you can't immediately find online. Next you'll say he's not notable because there's no website dedicated to his life. Did you bother to look at any of the external links, either? I suppose the HRM website doesn't qualify as RS, either, huh? And the fact you never heard of Goodguys means they can't be trusted, even tho they've only been hosting shows for more then 20yr... Sheesh. And, of course, somebody who built an AMBR-winning car & got national magazine coverage for his whole career can't possibly be notable, just bacause you never heard of him, right?

Could you add some of those sources? 50 year coverage in Hot Rod is hard to deal with these days (one of several topics) because it doesn't make a visible web footprint. If you've still got the paper trail, then you're in a much better place to fix this than most other editors will be. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:06, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Could you add some of those sources?" I don't have access to HRM or CC going back that far, or I'd have used them as sources & we wouldn't be discussing it. Not even my local library goes back really far... Even the HR website was no help (& I'm not helped, either, by an old PC that can't even read the page anymore, which is why I used it as an EL & not a cite...) If you've got a bigger-city library, you might be able to use their search function to find issues featuring Magoo, then request them for research.

• Keep Could use more coverage, especially on his work, but the obits already in the ELs would seem to satify notability. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:14, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep over 700 results from google search -->Typ932 ^T·C 13:11, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There's only two sources referenced in the article, and having only looked at the sources in the article, but I can't verify the reliability of the good-guys obituary, and none of the external links are very helpful. A web search brought up mentions, but I couldn't find any other sources. His newspaper obituary on Legacy.com is run of the mill. As it stands, fails WP:GNG.
