Deletion of Larry Woody

Comment: as he seems to be a known quantity in racing circles, but there's little in Google News Archive ''about'' him (''by'' him is a different story). It is not clear that his publications meet , either

Comment: Don't just say that more independent references should be added - go ahead and do so! Part of the purpose of AfD is to encourage article improvement so it can be saved. As of this writing, there was a total of one source that was independent of Larry Woody's writing pen. That clearly is not enough. In addition, the one named hall of fame is one of a local scope (a local college as opposed to a greater region or industry) and not cited in the article; not all writing awards are as notable as the national ones, like the Pulitzer Prize; reviews of his books would have helped in ; and - changing the focus a bit - there's no mention of him in the ''The Tennessean'' Wikipedian article, which would make it an awkward target for a redirect. It is still lacking in support needed to keep the article (when you reply, note the lines just below the editing window: ''Content that violates any copyright will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be |verifiable.'' It's hard to verify if there is nothing to point to). '''For now, I must recommend deletion''' of the article
