Notability and sourcing

edit

Hello wikipedians.

I am still getting started on Wikipedia. However, this page appears to have no legitimate third-party sources. Should this even be included in Wikipedia? Coffee312 (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

You're quite right. You'll notice from the page history that this page has been around, more or less unchallenged, since the early days of WP. That means that we should spend some effort trying to find better sources before nominating the page for deletion. You've made the first step with your "citation needed" tagging (although it might have been better to simply apply the {{unreferenced}} template).
I did a search to see if there's been much written about Mertz and his contributions to auto safety and did not immediately come up with any great references. More digging is probably required.
If, after some time has passed and nobody has come up with better references, you can feel justified in nominating the page for deletion (through Articles for deletion). — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 23:07, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
