[edit] Auto racing world

A big wall of text. Seems to be an entry about NASCAR, though with the lack of an introduction or paragraphs that can actually be read, it's hard to tell. Anyway, what we seemingly have here is a long stream of characters about something related to racing cars. Maybe this is a duplicate of NASCAR or Auto racing, I don't know, but I don't think we should keep that entry unless someone can make sense of it and write a stub Equendil Talk 11:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. An absolute mess of an article that talks of the auto racing "world" yet only talks about a specific type of racing in a specific country. In terms of being an overview of motorsport in general, Auto racing covers everything this article possibly could; and in terms of being simply about NASCAR, then NASCAR does the business. It's unencyclopaedic, doesn't offer information that can't be got elsewhere, and offers no justification for putting info on a quite specific topic under a pretty general header.

• Delete. I have made a significant number contributions to WikiProject NASCAR and historic auto racing, and this is non-sense rambling. I agree with Seb Patrick's comments. Royalbroil 14:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Pretty awful. I was tempted to try to fix it, but it looks like it may have some copyvios, too. Auto racing already has an article. Kafziel 15:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nonsensical rambling, not an encyclopedia article about anything. -Drdisque 01:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
