Comment: I am not convinced that the sources provided have enough significant coverage to establish this person as notable enough for a Wikipedia article. You're almost there with the VelocityNews article, and it could be argued that the NZRC article about being shortlisted is independent enough to count. Ideally you need one additional source from a different, reputable, reliable, independent news outlet.For an example, I found these:* Whitten, Luke (2024-09-19), "Jones off to Japan for Toyota program", RallySport Magazine, retrieved 2024-11-12* "Zeal Jones gets to grips with GR thoroughbreds ahead of big Japan trip", VelocityNews, 2024-10-22, retrieved 2024-11-12I think the RallySport ref would put notabiltiy beyond question.

Zeal Jones is a Japanese-Kiwi rally driver who currently competes in the New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC).[1] Son of New Zealand rally driver Austen Jones, and nephew of New Zealand rally driver Kingsley Jones, Zeal has excelled in motorsport since a young age.
Jones has won a NZRC 4WD Challenge Championship, Cat 5 NZRC Drivers Championship, and a NZRC Junior Championship.[2] Jones is the youngest driver to ever become a NZRC 4WD Challenge Champion, and is the second youngest competitor to ever finish on a NZRC podium.
Jones is currently competing in Toyota World Rally Team's "WRC Challenge Program" where he made it into the top 6 Japanese drivers.[3] Jones is set to fly to Finland at the end of 2024, putting his skills to the test in an attempt to make it to the top line of rallying, the World Rally Championship with one of the most successful WRC manufactures. This is the program that promoted Takamoto Katsuta into the WRC, with Jones set for the same destiny.
