I do not see how and why this one turn (turn? the article doesn't even say) is notable enough to have its own article. The sourcing doesn't bear it out--these are sources that name everything on the circuit (cause they're basically maps and histories of the race), and the one newspaper article is local and apparently verifies only that once upon a time the road was widened.

• Comment I essentially agree, but the phrase "this one turn" suggests that none of the others do, where in fact, almost every part of this course has its own article:

If this article is going to be deleted, then a whole load of those others should be similarly considered. Harrias ^talk 14:52, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• • I'm an old person, Harrias, and by necessity must take baby steps... I didn't mean "this one turn" as opposed to the others, BTW. Drmies (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • "The Kerromoar section comprises a left, right and left" - extract from 4/5 paragraphs covering the Kerromoar section (TT Racing, Ray Knight, 1974)
• Redirect (to List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course) Following on from above, this article provides nothing of substance that can't be included in List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course, which is basically where most of that template above should already solely reside.

• Comment As an involved editor I would like to offer some guidance. The options are:

• Keep
• Delete outright (from the public view)
• Merge with another (physically nearby) article Ginger Hall – thereby retaining access to archived history, content, and references as may be required - see example at Bedstead Corner and The Nook, Isle of Man
• Redirect to List article – thereby retaining access to archived history, content, and references as may be required and also facilitates future re-instatement.

  For the avoidance of doubt, editor Harrias may wish to reconsider and clarify/change their !vote already stated with a strikethrough. I am undecided, and I may not !vote.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 02:28, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect (to List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course#Kerrowmoar ). I agree that there's nothing specifically about this place in its article, besides the mention of the Manx language meaning of its name ("from Manx: The Great Quarterland", with source), which could/should actually be copied over. Keeping the article history in place is better than deleting, in my opinion, a) s a courtesy to contributors, b) to allow for article re-development if some big event happens there and/or a lot of well-sourced content shows up, and c) to inform future AFDs about other named corners and other discussions. --doncram 03:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The Talk-page of the list-article has this current discussion with suggestions of other marginal articles to AFD, perhaps in a small batch multi-AFD after this AFD closes? --doncram 03:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to existing row in List article (I didn't write it). This area is countryside with no significant residential settlement. A series of minor articles was historically established by one or two editors, with the suggested Manx-Gaelic language 'translations' (or interpretations) prominently displayed (this one-article-per-turn, taken together, is touching on WP:NOTGUIDE). Although of mild-interest, emphasis should not be placed on the alleged historical etymology - there are various derivative-spellings throughout the island. Kerrow Moar is shown as Keroo Mooar on the 1986 track side marker board (at 19 minutes); the work cited as 1970 was first-published 1925 and the acclaimed scholar/author John Kneen#Manx Language died in 1938.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 13:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
