Motorcycle land speed record[edit]

Wikipedia is not a list of things; claims to have been "under construction" by creator who's not returned. Patstuart^talk|edits 00:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. What this article really needs is a {{cleanup}} tag in place of the "under construction" phrase, and serious re-writing by someone who knows the topic. The term itself has plenty of ghits appears to be commonly used in the world of speed enthusiasts, and is highly capable of a proper article. Bad writing and lack of proper wikification really doesn't mean the article ought to be deleted. Agent 86 01:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is worthwhile material and there's precedence for this kind of material on the Wiki. As Agent 86 says above, AfD is not Cleanup. A Train ^{take the} 01:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was in the middle of editing Flight airspeed record when I took a break and saw this AFD. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 01:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's not ready for deletion yet. --Sapphire Flame 13:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - thank you all for your input. And thank you all who are knowledgeable about the subject for cleaning it up at that. I withdraw my nomination, as this is clearly a more important subject than I realized. -Patstuart^talk|edits 14:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
