Non notable boy racer club. Moosato Cowabata (talk) 14:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete via db-club, no notability asserted as well. Pharmboy (talk) 16:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - It's not a national organisation and it doesn't list sources for other notability. Per WP:ORG Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found.. (The name of the article sucks too - so even if the decision is to keep - we should rename it). SteveBaker (talk) 16:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Delete As the article stands now it does not appear to be notable, however it does assert notability through the "Trophy Case" section, so speedy per db club would be inappropriate. If sources could be provided for the one champion trophy I might change my mind. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

  Comment: I don't think those awards are worth much in terms of club notability. Generally, they might indicate one or two enthusiastic members put up a stand in the outdoor car show with some pretty photos in it or something. Almost any active car club will have a few of those kinds of awards. It doesn't say much about the notability of the club as a whole. A couple of enthusiasts could score those awards by themselves. My local car club has 500 active members - we turn up at classic car shows with 30 to 40 gleaming, restored cars - we won the 'best car in show' award at the Texas State Fair several years in a row. That's a better measure of notability than some awards handed out for 'nice stand' - yet I don't think we would write an article about Mini Owners of Texas. The standard is that articles about the club have to have been written in the press - beyond a mere address listing - a substantive article. SteveBaker (talk) 19:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment The main trophy I was concerned about was the "National Car Club Champions" for Donny South in 2006, having won that (or claimed to as there are no sources) is an assertion of notability making this club ineligible for an A7 speedy deletion. I agree with you that a press article would be needed to show that the award makes them notable, however could this be provided I would be in favor of keeping th article.
