Racin and Rockin

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

Poorly sourced article about an event with no strong claim of notability per WP:NEVENT, and with significant advertorial overtones to the writing ("Off the track and after the race, the Basement Dawgs took to the stage to provide the live music while track owner Paul Zimmerman manned the BBQ.") This is referenced almost entirely to primary sources, with the exception of a single piece of media coverage, and it's so poorly maintained that the 2008 edition is still described as the "upcoming" one. Simply being able to verify that a thing existed, however, is not enough to get it a Wikipedia article -- it needs to have significantly more reliable source coverage about it than this before it can be considered notable.

Delete as per nom; WP:NEVENT is not met. I found [1] to show that it continued past 2007, but no significant coverage. The article and its sources are summarized accurately by Bearcat. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:27, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
