List of ARCA drivers

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

Declined PROD a short time ago. This is an out-of-date list, that duplicates Category:ARCA drivers. Making it into List of current ARCA Racing Series drivers would resolve that, but a large number of drivers in the series are of insufficent notability, making it either a permamently-incomplete list or a sea of redlinks (which it, in fact, currently is anyway).

Keep - A useful list list to navigate articles and promote the creation of new articles, vis-a-vis the red links in it. See also WP:NOTDUP, in which it's stated that arguments as lists being duplicative of categories is an invalid rationale for deletion. Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:45, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this list is to be kept, it needs to be completely rescoped and updated. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Far more useful than a catalog, since it can list drivers who don't have articles yet. Remember, deletion is a last resort, for articles that can't be improved by normal editing methods. If you think something should be added, then add it. No valid reason given to delete this. Dream Focus 19:29, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
