The result was redirect to International_V8_Supercars_Championship. This probably is TOOSOON but rather then go with the delete, I'll redirect so this can be undone with the minimum of fuss when it's time. Spartaz ^Humbug! 09:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOSOON The majority of cited announcements are carry over announcements relevant to 2014 or 2015 seasons. References about DJR Penske and Prodrive Australia changing manufacturers are speculative, not announcements and there has been no calendar announcements. There is just one driver signing that is genuinely new for 2016. Not enough to start a new season article. Content is almost entirely copied over from 2015 International V8 Supercars Championship article. Falcadore (talk) 15:28, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article reflects cited changes for 2016. Similar articles 2016 Formula One season and 2016 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season have been established. V7867 (talk) 01:22, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. There is only one change for 2016 detailed. Also - WP:OTHERSTUFF. --Falcadore (talk) 01:42, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep is cited and will evolve over time Transasia07 (talk) 02:54, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete V8 Supercar season articles generally are not created until the release of the calendar, the exception being significant changes for that season (such as the entrance of new manufacturers in 2013/2014). There are currently no significant changes for 2016, so article should not be created until the calendar is released. ^Kytabu _Talk 05:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Maybe a bit early, but only by a few months, better a bit early than a bit late IMO. Does provide a good summary of what contracts are in place. Would feel differently if the season was > 12 months away. Drs002 (talk) 08:05, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The calendar for the season has not been released and there are not enough major changes to the manufacturers or drivers for the page to be kept as it stands. TheGRVOfLightning (talk) 07:10, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
