Hudson Relays[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

College tradition limited to a single campus, no real indication of notability, no effort to provide sources to prove notability per WP:GNG. Article is just a description of the race and a list of past winners, nothing of real encyclopedic value. Notability questioned since March 2009, without resolution.

Speedy close. The previous nomination for this article was just closed after being relisted twice. - Eureka Lott 16:05, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close. Stop wasting Wikipedians' time. The previous nomination was closed just yesterday after relisting twice and no consensus. How long are we going to drag this out? GrapedApe, would you please withdraw the nomination? •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:23, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- ...and it was closed no consensus with only 1 comment. So, no.--GrapedApe (talk) 22:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The last discussion was a very lightly attended no consensus close, so I don't think it's disruptive to renominate here. Mark Arsten (talk) 15:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jenks24 (talk) 13:45, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and after that add more citations and clean it up For sources in which thus Hudson relays is mentioned, go to Google books and search for Hudson relays. See What you get. Numerous independent reliable sources. Meets notability criterion but it needs to be worked on and cleaned up. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Mentions are not non trivial coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A purely local event that doesn't have the coverage necesarry to establish notability. Yes, there are hits if you search for it in Google Books. However, these are entirely composed of entries in college guides that just list the events at every college. Its enough to prove that yes, the event exists, but nothing in any of those sources show any sort of widespread notability for it. Searching in the Google News Archives also seemingly gives plenty of results, however, these are all false leads, actually referring to actual track events, not to the subject of this article.

Delete - Complete lack of notable third party sources that would suggest this event has any lasting effects or simply is important enough locally/nationally. Mkdw ^talk 00:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No indication this event has lasting impact or meaningful significance. OSborn ^arf_contribs. 01:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
