This is a weird creation that substantially duplicates an already extensive existing biography. Other drivers don't have this sort of coverage Pipsally (talk) 12:24, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change scope - a WP:SPINOFF of the whole career of Alonso is silly, given that is what he is known for. However, we could consider a spinoff of Formula One career of Fernando Alonso (like we have with Formula One career of Lewis Hamilton).

Change scope/Keep - agree that the topic of this article is too broad. Alonso's article would be too long if all of this one was merged into it, but I definitely think the parts of this article which aren't related to F1 and are missing from his article should be put there, and vis-versa for the F1 bits of his main article to this one, if that is what is decided. It would be a shame to lose the added detail of this article especially regarding his non-F1 racing which is lacking in his main article. Also, I'm not sure I understand why Fernando Alonso#Karting career is a separate section to "motor racing" but that isn't overly relevant to this discussion.

Alternatively I think just keep this article and merge anything relevant from his main article as mentioned above. Either way, I don't think deleting or a full merge would work as the main article is already quite long. A7V2 (talk) 03:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fernando Alonso. The only thing this person is notable for is their motor racing career so the only reason to have this article is as a WP:POVFORK. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 06:44, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
