Motor racing team doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG- coverage is either WP:ROUTINE or does not discuss the team in depth. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. Thanks to recent improvements in the article. MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GhostOfDanGurney I am trying to understand how is this even remotely close to a WP:GNG worthy source. A passing mention of DXDT + quote farm + quote farm + 2 sentences about Crowdstrike (unrelated to the AfD) + another quote farm + 1 sentence about DXDT + quote farm + quote farm + a sentence about Ryan Dalziel + quote farm.

I guess your standards are higher than mine? Or more likely, mine are lower for non-BLP subjects. Although thin, there is enough secondary context about the subject to contribute to a short stub article should another worthy source be brought up. As it stands, nothing else appears to exist at this time hence why I'm likely not !voting to keep this. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 17:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
With nothing else available, I have edited my !vote from neutral -> delete. It is indeed WP:TOOSOON for an article at this time. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 19:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your constructive criticism and discussion of this page. Because this particular form of racing does not receive large amounts of exposure sometimes the only media covering this particular series are the ones I have already cited, as I know I cannot link to DXDT or Crowdstrike's own press releases. That is why Wikipedia has been incredibly helpful in increasing the footprint for this area of the sport and linking all the coverage in one place. With your helpful feedback, I have begun to add from additional sources including Honda, Mercedes Benz, Speedsport News, and Speedway Digest, as well as linking to other Wikipedia pages that include the team this page is about. I will continue to gather additional sources to meet your guidelines. Thanks again! Racerchick18 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:44, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am also in the process of linking DXDT Racing to all of the articles they were previously mentioned in. There were many, so it is taking some time while I continue to update the page. Thank you for your patience! Racerchick18 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:29, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The article has undergone a significant expansion since the last delete !vote, which requires reanalysis of the page.

  • Draftify - I have struck my delete !vote in light of the expansion of the article; although WP:NMOTORSPORT does not cover race teams at present, the team's results in GT World Challenge Americas indicates a good future WP:POTENTIAL for passing GNG. At the moment, it does not, with still only RACER providing anything more than WP:ROUTINE coverage that isn't an official release (with even RACER being debatable, as seen above). Draftifying in my opinion is the correct solution here, allowing the creator to continue working on the article until a second piece of SIGCOV is found. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 19:19, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (previously delete then neutral) - As the page has continued to improve I believe that it has reached the point that it satisfies the requirements to being kept.Gusfriend (talk) 11:04, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have struck my delete above. Looking through the sourcing in the article as of now there still isn't much in the way of SIGNIFICANT coverage that is actually about the team (rather than the drivers, sponsors, etc), so I am not switiching to keep, just withdrawing my !vote (let's call it neutral).

  • Striking my !vote to send to draft in light of the nominator's withdrawal. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 09:04, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
