[edit] Blazing Rate

Blazing Rate (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Thoroughbred horse that's only stated claim to notability was beating another non-notable horse in a non-notable race. A read-through at the article itself should convince any skeptic. CastAStone//(talk) 04:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete No reliable outside sources to verify notability. Master of Puppets Care to share? 04:57, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
    • There is clearly one reliable outside source and it is in the article. And I just added a second. --SmashvilleBONK! 06:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no indication that the race he won or the horse he beat is notable outside of horseracing enthusiasts. Lankiveil (talk) 05:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep. If we deleted any article which is not "notable outside of X enthusiasts", there would not be many left. Looks reasonably notable to me, I don't see any reason to delete. --Zvika (talk) 05:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • On the Fence Delete...I am of the opinion that a horse needs to win a graded stakes race (or be Zippy Chippy) to be considered notable. However, reliable sources do exist - one was in the article...for the record, In Summation won this year's Bing Crosby Handicap...not even remotely not notable. --SmashvilleBONK! 06:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable enough. The sport of thoroughbred horse riding doesn't gain anything with the article. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDENwe need to talk.• 15:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, agree that the horse didn't prove to do anything notable enough on the track or in the breeding shed.(Keycap (talk) 01:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC))
