[edit] Boyd Adams

One career race is not important enough for Wikipedia. Casey14 02:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

So All 2831 drivers to start a NASCAR Cup race should get Wikipedia pages? Casey14 21:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Keep. --badlydrawnjeff talk 21:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
How about the 38,000 starters of the 1996 Boston Marathon? They all get pages according to you? Crum375 21:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
i'm not sure how much protest i'd put up, but that's apples and oranges - The Boston Marathon isn't a professional sporting league. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
WP not paper - don't be so shocked. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 23:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Trying to remember the name of the midget that was once fielded by a major league baseball team as a gag. He has an article here, I've read it. One day contract, one career at-bat. He walked, because his low height gave him a terribly small strike zone, and was lifted for a pinch runner, never to appear again. Go figure! :) - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 23:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Eddie Gaedel. I love Eddie Gaedel. When I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame like eight years ago (at the ripe old age of 13), my absolute favorite thing was Gaedel's "1/8" jersey. -- Kicking222 01:17, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. One unfinished race does not confer notability. Crum375 19:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per CrazyRussian's comments. Amazinglarry 20:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep because WP:BIO says so. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Even one race means he passes WP:BIO. That's all that needs to be said. -- Kicking222 01:17, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • KEEP per above. WillC 21:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep A starter in an elite-level-only event is not the same as a starter in a race with a fun-run element. Merchbow 20:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
