non notable racing team, whose greatest accomplishment seems to be a recent string of failures WuhWuzDat 17:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - If they actually competed in the Sprint Cup Series then they may be notable per WP:ATHLETE. Needs expansion/references/results table. Someidiot (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

• KEEPYou obviously have never heard of the great Morgan Shepherd. The fact that he owns and drives for the team make Faith Motorsports notable in itself. Regardless, its performances in both Cup and the Nationwide Series is plenty of notability for it to belong on Wikipedia.--Johncoracing48 (talk) 02:46, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Any team that has performed in any of NASCAR's top three series for a substantial amount of time should been represented on Wikipedia.--Face the ace (talk) 02:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

• Merge to Morgan Shepherd. The race team is his creation, has precisely one driver - Shepherd - and, almost more importantly, has gotten very little coverage in reliable sources. The best articles I can find, this 2007 article and this 2009 write-up, focus on Shepherd. Given that, I don't think it'd be unreasonable to add a section for Faith Motorsports at Shepherd's article, since he is a co-owner. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 14:46, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
  • I'd agree with Merge. This appears to be the organizational equivalent of WP:BLP1E, as while the team owner/driver certainly has notability, the only notability his team has is its owner/driver. WuhWuzDat 16:13, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
• Keep sufficient reliable sources, raced in all of the upper 3 NASCAR series. It had 4 wins in the Nationwide Series (then the Busch Series). Disagree with merge because you'll notice that the team had 3 other drivers. Other driver/owners have separate articles. Royalbroil 05:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
