Unnamed Austin International Circuit[edit]

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

Article full of "speculation", Name not known, Location not known, no confirmation it will be built (reminder that the 2010 British GP was meant to be at a new and improved Donington Park but after funding was not forthcoming it has reverted to Silverstone) Codf1977 (talk) 10:36, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Information readily available on United States Grand Prix. The³5₉ (Talk) 15:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the³5₉ says. If the article is kept, it should at least change names, because the name of the circuit can't seriously be "Unnamed..." even if it is yet unnamed. John Anderson (talk) 21:19, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I change my opinion to keep since Hadlock has convinced me of that. A rename of the page is however still necessary. John Anderson (talk) 05:47, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Proposed new name to be used until a formal name has been given to the circuit: Austin Formula One Circuit. John Anderson (talk) 05:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article simply needs to be renamed then. References cite that track is already fully funded and will be part of the F1 2012-2021 seasons. Failed funding drives for another track has no bearing on the completion of a fully funded project already underway. Location (East Austin, within 10 miles of the airport) has been confirmed by F1 and the builder in multiple publications, only the exact location is under speculation as that information has not yet been released.Hadlock (talk) 21:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; per User:The359. Cs-wolves (talk) 00:29, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It will be needed. Circuit name change but info on the track which will hold the US GP can't all be put in the 2012 article because there is too much. Name change must occur. Chubbennaitor 17:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while we'll need it in the future, we don't know when that future will be. We might need it tomorrow, but then, we might need it next year. We can always re-ceate it when we have to. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:18, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; per User:The359. While an article will be needed certainly it won't have this name. Until such a time as the circuit is named (ground has yet to be broken! still a bit premature), other articles can comfortably carry the information, considering once the speculation is weeded out there should not be very much. --Falcadore (talk) 17:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, so far too speculative. The article name is wrong so it shouldn't be kept even as a redirect. -Ulla — 20:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as others have said. The Great Cucumber (talk) 05:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If the page is kept, it should be renamed as John Anderson suggests. The Great Cucumber (talk) 05:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's already needed. It's the venue to the 2012 US Grand Prix. That's not going to change, trust me. If you want, only rename it to "Austin Internacional Circuit". RFG17 (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

any claim that it is the "venue to the 2012 US Grand Prix" is pure speculation unless and until it is built - the best that can be said is "Austin is the proposed venue for the 2012 US Grand Prix" Codf1977 (talk) 15:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Track not built yet and the Track location is not definitive, the track name is not definitive and nor is the track layout. The article contents that is worth saving can also easily be merged with the article United States Grand Prix.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
