Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 PowerShares QQQ 300

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Beyond the nominator, who argues for deletion, there is someone with a redirect !vote who also suggests the topic is notable. Two subsequent editors then seem to focus on process, accepting this redirect !vote's assessment of notability, rather than the specifics of this article and its notability (or lack there of). After two relisting with no further discussion there has thus been no further discussion and so there's not really a consensus to be had here. This close leaves open the opportunity for someone to improve the article and demonstrate its notability, redirect it to a valid target, or renominate it for deletion but for now the status quo remains.

Sourcing is merely routine, directory-type sources that don't prove WP:SIGCOV. Also nominating 2018 NextEra Energy Resources 250, 2018 Active Pest Control 200 and 2018 Rinnai 250 for the same reason. Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 13:13, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the 2018 NASCAR Xfinity Series respectively. These races are notable but in the state that its currently in and the best that can probably be done is a redirect to those series pages. If someone recreate those pages then they would be welcome to do so. HawkAussie (talk) 02:44, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't understand the rush to delete. The page was prodded 3 hours after it was created, and then brought to AfD a day later. It doesn't seem to have had any page curation tags placed on it before that. The Talk page was created by the prodding editor - it has no Wikiprojects on it. Why not add Wikiprojects to the talk page and add tags to the article that it needs better sourcing? If the races are notable, per WP:ARTN ("Article content does not determine notability") and WP:NPOSSIBLE ("before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search"), it would surely be better to allow other editors to improve the articles than to delete or redirect them. A quick search of Google News and Newspapers.com shows that there was coverage. I have no interest in car races, but I am sure that there are editors who do, who could improve the articles.

  • Keep as per RebeccaGreen. A lot of effort has gone into creating this article and it is discouraging to the new editor to have it and the other articles he has written treated in this way. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:49, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
