Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2CV 24 Hour Race

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus with leave to speedy renominate. The rationales for 2 of the 3 keep !votes were solely based on the nominator being blocked. We still have an outstanding delete !voter whose rationale has not been refuted. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No references at all and it is a very short article. 1313-EvilHomer (talk) 08:16, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, if not start all over again: Short and sweet, unreferenced and a poorly edited article is not a reason to call for a deletion. Talking of notability, it is a famous amateur race or was in the 1990s when it was made in comparison to its quicker and big budgeted French counterpart. There maybe a few reliable third party web sources [1][2][3][4] and some more if I can find any, but most of these are likely to be print sources from the 1990s when it was at its height of notability.

Delete - could not find significant coverage by independent reliable sources to establish notability. Of the 4 given by Donnie Park, the first is a press release, the second may be legit, the third and fourth are the same and look like a press release again. Press releases are not independent sources and do not establish notability.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 14:22, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fair enough that this may be notable but however when I saw it, it was (and still is as I write) a poorly written article with no references. Of course, one reason for an Afd is to allow users to edit the article to improve it by adding references, information etc. 1313-EvilHomer (talk) 14:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as nom has been indef'd as sock of GeorgeGibbons. What usually happens with indef'd noms is a speedy keep. T3h 1337 b0y 06:05, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as per above, and also because the topic does have a few significant reliable sources. — Parent5446 ☯ ^{(msg email)} 19:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
