Tracksplit car racing[edit]

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

This article is about a new style of auto race course layout that has not received coverage in reliable sources. The article itself appears to be a loose paraphrase of the official site, and is structured in a similar manner. A search for sources about tracksplit racing turns up none. Considering the popularity of motorsport worldwide, this would indicate that this is not a notable concept. There are no current tracks configured in this fashion with one being planned to be available in 2010. Perhaps when actual races have been run there may be some coverage to establish notability then. But as of right now, I can find no sourcing. Whpq (talk) 18:30, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I came across this AFD that I had tried to submit back in Nov 2009. It looks like a Twinkle failure that I missed. I've made a renewed effort to find sources including coverage about the track that is supposed to be ready in 2010. The above rationale still holds. --Whpq (talk) 15:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article created by user WHH-Joosten. Google search for Tracksplit Racing brings up a linkedin company profile for Tracksplit (indicating te company has 1 employee). Page two of google results brings up Wil Joosten's linkedin profile, listing him as Director at "Tracksplit Car Racing." Googling Tracksplit Wil Joosten brings up a couple of Dutch-language posts on racing blogs, again written by Joosten. No independent sources found. I'd say this one fails WP:NOTAD, among other things. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 00:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per WP:BOLLOCKS. No refs to show this is notable, as it's not used in any racing series I'm familiar with. The series listed under "See Also" do not use this type of track. EeepEeep (talk) 05:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no references to verify this information. It may be true, but who knows? It can be recreated. I disagree that it is eligible for speedy. Royal broil 05:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete advertsing, essay, unreferenced. --Falcadore (talk) 06:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
