The article PPI Motorsports has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
100% unverified to a single reliable source (and ergo lacking any evidence for meeting Wikipedia:Notability) for 19.41 years!
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- I had forgotten I started this article 19 years ago. Yikes. I disagree with it possibly being deleted, since the team won NASCAR and CART races, but I agree it needs lots of work. Do you have any ideas about what is a reliable resource for racing teams...and a proper formatting so that we can get these dumb "Car # Histories" off the page and make it flow better? (This is a gripe I have with EVERY NASCAR team page; is it so hard to be chronological?) I commented in the talk page that I saw an article that said they left Toyota in 2000, but it's got a Wordpress favicon so I know nothing about it's reliability. Because this team was never a big-name, it is very difficult to find anything on a reliable website about them...especially with them no longer existing. Know anything that can help? -- JustJamie820 (talk) 03:25, 25 January 2025 (UTC) (P.S., thanks for ending my six-year Wikipedia editing break. :-P)
John West
[edit]Decided to reply here. Don't be too concerned as to why West was deleted. What happened was one editor was making stub after stub of cricket articles based only on databases without showing why they were notable at all, so the community reviewed the guidelines and decided sports players needed at least some significant coverage in order to qualify for an article. The project has really shifted away from people who bulk create articles, and so this article got caught up in all of it... I agree with you that he's probably notable, but the problem with the deletion discussion was simply that enough sources couldn't be easily found in order to save it. The fact he has an extremely common name helps nothing, but I hope that better explains how we got here... SportingFlyer T·C 07:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding some context to the deletion. Since the whole AFD thread affects my mood too much, all I can say is that, hopefully, my draft on his article will stick this time. I found two mentions of him in British newspapers, one of which has detail not readily available online, and MAYBE that'll be enough to make the past deletion a moot point. And if not, I'll pay for a British Newspapers subscription to find more on him and many others contemporaries. -- JustJamie820 (talk) 07:22, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
