[edit] Hispanic Racing Team
This team never ran. Fails to meet notability standards. D-Day (talk) 23:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC) I choose to cancel this Afd after some research from Smashville proved me wrong. --D-Day (talk) 13:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Not notable, happened 15 years ago, even 3 years ago would not be notable. Soxred93 | talk count bot 00:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. If all professional athletes are notable, then wouldn't teams be notable? This was a NASCAR-initiated attempt at diversity that eventually ended up in Mexico City being added to the Busch schedule. That it failed doesn't make it any less notable. And contrary to the nom (and his edits to the article) - the team did run. [1]. I don't know about the faith of the edit, but I think it's a little odd to put in incorrect information and then nominate it for AfD based on said info. --SmashvilleBONK! 02:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. Note that the team really never did run, at least according to the cited sources. The article cited by User:Smashville above was written before the event at Atlanta which subsequently (according to the first reference in the Wikipedia article) got rained out. --DachannienTalkContrib 07:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- The team did run. The references in the article refer to results of previous races. --SmashvilleBONK! 05:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- The team did run, but one DNQ does not constitute notability. --D-Day (talk) 13:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- There's more than a DNQ. [2][3] --SmashvilleBONK! 07:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK, they did run. Good work. --D-Day (talk) 13:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- However...I'm not opposed to a merge if there is an appropriate article to merge into...it is a little funny that the "Hispanic Racing Team" ran races with a white guy from Kentucky... --SmashvilleBONK! 17:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
