[edit] 2007 1000km of Monza

2007 1000km of Monza (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article provides little to no context about the race itself. 95% of the article is simply a table on the results of the race, with some statistics thrown in at the bottom. Violates WP:NOT#INFO.

Note: Nomination includes remaining articles in series:

Comment - To clarify, all the articles I listed above should have race reports discussing what happened in the race. But there are simply too many articles and too little editors to have them all complete yet. All four of the articles listed here as well should have race reports, but simply do not yet. At best this makes these articles stubs. The359 00:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge all to 2007 Le Mans Series season. No need to have such detailed information, but it is worth covering the individual races in more detail than the main article currently has (perhaps keep the top 3 results for each class...?). JulesH 21:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment Then, quite frankly, we'd end up with a very large article in 2007 Le Mans Series season that could stand to be branched. As it is now. The359 22:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Putting aside my interest and involvement in this subject, I would probably favour a merge with some condensing of the data. Adrian M. H. 21:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, these could be improved pretty easily by writing a detailed race report. They are basically just stubs now (with the results tacked on the end) but there is room for expansion. Recury 01:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. These are notable events in a major racing series that had significant press coverage thoughout the world. These articles need to be expanded to state what happened at the event, not deleted. As indicated above, adding individual race reports for major racing series to the respective season article would cause the season article to become far too large.

  • Keep as a major sporting event, it merits some coverage. If the current articles aren't up to snuff, fixing the articles is the solution, not deletion. Try using for example {{context}}. FrozenPurpleCube 02:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep at the moment, the article is currently mostly a results table yet the topic provides scope to be expanded to provide a detailed encyclopaedic description of a notable racing event. See [1] for an example of how an article starting as very similar in content to those nominated for deletion has ended up as a featured article. AlexJ 20:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm sure the intention is to add race reports in the fullness of time. Agree with The359's comment about the unsuitability of merging. Maybe mark them as stubs until race reports are added. DH85868993 02:31, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
