This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Motorsport. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Motorsport|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Motorsport. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Sports.

Reverted redirect without improvement. Zero in-depth sourcing from independent, reliable sources. And there's a reason for that, searches did not turn up any. Previously an earlier redirect had been reverted with the the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument regarding 2018 Atlantic Championship. And while that is it correct, the other article also fails GNG, and I will be nominating it separately. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:27, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Atlantic Championship Series - Minor series with no SIGCOV. The only things I find are about what individual drivers have done elsewhere, or from the promoter. I did the tables but that's just because sometimes I get bored and like to do tables. - Mitchea99 (talk) 09:35, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A participant in the 2008 deletion discussion said “ It needs references to establish notability, but for now give it the benefit of the doubt.”. I think we have given it the benefit of the doubt for long enough now Chidgk1 (talk) 18:32, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep — The main concern in the 2008 discussion seemed to revolve around the newness of the series and how it could pan out as another Premier 1. As it turns out, it attracted decent TV coverage and attendances, outlived A1GP, and filled that spot between F1 and feeder series until Sonangol pulled its funding and killed it. Major feeder series such as GP2/F2 and GP3/F3 have standalone articles for rounds. All 25 other Superleague rounds have standalone articles. I therefore fail to see the issue with this one in particular—other than the lack of sources which can easily ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) be fixed. MSport1005 (talk) 01:20, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article is unsourced and I cannot find sources online. The only mention I found was from Hot Rod & Stock Car Racing (2008), which is a passing mention saying he was "Irish Open Champion". I'm not a motorsport fan, do idk if this is a different name for a notable competition, but I could not find an "Irish Open" when searching. Otherwise is unmentioned online.

• Delete: No sourcing in the article (I hate old Wikipedia articles that got by with "trust me sourcing" ), this is all I could find [6], nothing in Gbooks. There might be something in old newspapers, but I don't have the capacity to look. Oaktree b (talk) 22:59, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – Per lack of WP:SIGCOV. Svartner (talk) 03:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I am adding sourcing and editing the text, deleting the unencyclopaedic waffle. I am trying to find sourcing for the claims that he won Irish hot rod championships in 1975 and 1976 - so far, I have found reporting of the 1977 championship saying that Torrens had lost his title. I think his first name is wrong in the article - a clipping I found showed the name as Neville Torrens, so I am now searching for that and I am finding more results. I'll come back when I have added more info and sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:49, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
