List-item notability requirements

No question asked here and no reply will be given. Rambling section difficult to understand. Editor asked not to break-up comments and not to set WP:OWN policy.agljones(talk)13:00, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Agljones indicates by #Alternative table format and other comments that he wishes to add rows for many, many more locations along the course. This would include locations that are not named corners such as "Mike Casey Memorial Shelter" and every other shelter and every mile marker. I believe such a long listing would not be acceptable (for reasons including wp:OR concern), and that list-items should only be named corners that are identified as that in sources. Meaning not including the Grandstand and any other points that are not corners, although they may be landmarks. Per guidelines about lists (wp:LISTN? ), for a topic to be considered notable enough to include in a list, it doesn't have to meet higher standard of notability for topic to be a separate article. But editors can set a list-item standard, and we need some standard, and this should be more resolved before Agljones invests 6-8 weeks developing a new table including such items, only to encounter disagreement afterwards. Agljones, can you comment please? --doncram 21:28, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

The title and intro currently limit list-items to be named corners, among the 264 bends in the course. If "named corner" can be shown to be used commonly for other landmarks, perhaps other landmarks could be added. Or, the subject of the list might be changed to cover "named corners and other landmarks". Note a small compendium of spectator locations, which might be considered landmarks, is

Spectators gather all around the course at locations which have become part of road-racing history: Bray Hill, Quarter Bridge, Ballacraine, Laurel Bank, Baaregarrow, Ballaugh Bridge, Quarry Bends, Sulby Straight, Ramsey Hairpin, Gooseneck, the Verandah, 32nd Milestone, Windy Corner, Kate's Cottage, Creg-ny-Baa, Hillberry, Signpost, Governor's Bridge.[1]

Happily Agljones created Talk:List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course/Alternative version relatively quickly. It has only major named corners as items and all items are okay by me.
I expect we agree that more named corners can be added as items. Still open is question whether non-corner landmarks on the course can be added (and require explanation and perhaps an article title change). Non-corner landmarks include TT Grandstand and Kate's Cottage, Isle of Man. For those two, I mentioned them and included coordinates already, without giving them rows, so they do show up in the Bing map view. Misnamed category Category:Roads in the Isle of Man has a lot more, and there are more noted and shown in the corners video tour by WeeemRCB. But should a lot more landmarks be added? --doncram 19:21, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

(begin text)
I have now had the opportunity to go through contributions to ascertain that the same editor has nominated for deletion - or intends to nominate - many more TT Course locations than I originally surmised.
From the AfD list below, the majority are arguably 'world famous'; the other three are minor and could be retained and merged into preceding and following locations as appropriate, with name-changes and redirects. The standard of the content is often poor.

[world famous ones:]

[minor ones:]
User @Agljones: has striven, along with others, to establish articles which should be retained and improved. Using the catch-all ploy of 'notability' is inappropriate where consecutive historic physical localities are involved.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 23:53, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Executive Summary

An article for the Snaefell Mountain Course already has been established giving a description of the course. The Executive summary is a duplication of information in this article. There are no citations for the claim that there are “60 corners” and the Executive Summary then contradicts this claim with a descriptions of 264 turns in Gare citation. WP:POISONOUSFRUIT The Isle of Man TT motor-cycle articles are written in British-English and expressions like “turns” and “maker-flags” are not used. WP:MOS

Use of British-English

These terms are not also used in the descriptions of the Snaefell Mountain Course and no consensus is required by Wikipedia for the use of British-English style. Terms not found in British-English are confusing, contradictory and difficult to understand. The use of a commercial blog-style is unsuitable for Wikipedia and biased towards an inconsistent small-time frame of the last 10-15 years.WP:NOTBLOG The only stipulation that Wikipedia has that plain English is used. The use a light informal non-British-English conversational style intermixed with the rambling commercial blog style is again inconsistent with the main Wikipedia use of plain English.WP:MOS

Corners and Curves

There are no citations for the claim that there are “60 corner” and the Executive Summary then contradicts this claim with a descriptions of 264 turns. The Isle of Man TT motor-cycle articles are written in British-English and expressions like “turns,” “turns at cross-roads,” “straightaway,” “crowning-out,” “left-jink,” “right-jink” and “maker-flags” are not used and are inappropriate to the British-English style for the Isle of Man TT motor-cycle network of articles. The description “…..At the corners, racers must adjust their entering speed, focus on their pre-planned line and lean according to the nature of the turn, and anticipate accelerating, decelerating, turning again, or otherwise handling their vehicles as needed while coming out of the turn, for each one….” is original research WP:ORWP:PROVIT with no citation WP:V This small passage is written in a commercial blog style and the term “racer” contradicts the term “vehicle” and it is unclear if it is referring to motor-cycle or cars. Also, the Executive Summary states that “…. Some of the curves, S-bends, turns at crossroads, and other features in the course would not seem significant to car drivers in public traffic, while they are very significant for high-speed racers….” WP:MADEUP is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:V . For the purposes of the BRD discussion then an explanation is required for the origin of this original research as it is largely irrelevant to the Executive Summary or list article. WP:CITE, WP:N, WP:V, WP:PROVIT The inclusion of “Corner Mileage” is original research WP:OP with no citation.WP:V The actual length of the course is unknown and a nominal distance is used for race distances since the 1920’s. The details of the lap records are already to be found on the Isle of Man TT page and Snaefell Mountain Course and it is unclear if it is overall lap record or race record time.

Banners

The ‘banners’ referred to in the 1967 Currie citation refer to banners on poles displayed across the road or secured to buildings or trees with ropes that were used for the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races for automobiles during the period 1905-1922 and used to mark timing sections including refuelling areas. For safety reasons, the use of ‘banners’ on poles above the course would have been restricted and not appropriate for motor-cycle racing and cannot be seen in photographs of the Isle of Man TT motor-cycle races between the period 1911-1922 or after this period.

The introduction of course maker boards is from 1924 onward and the ‘1921’ date may have been confused with the introduction of race course milestones. Advertising ‘banners’ placed on walls next to the course or on raised marker boards behind walls can be seen in photographs of the Isle of Man TT motor-cycle races between the period 1911-1922. Also during the period 1911-1924, marker boards placed next to the course can be seen in photographs and due to their placement and height it may suggest they were for the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Races for automobiles during the period 1905-1922. The problems with plagiarism from journalists and with previous claims from the authors Currie, Deane, Wright, Davison, Harris etc…. can be found in these BRD discussions.WP:NOTRELIABLE WP:VERIFY [1] [2] [3] From about 2003, the course marker boards are left in position all year road for tourists. The marker boards are placed in specific positions for safety and are not related to that they "....may remind racers what is coming....” WP:NOTRELIABLE WP:VERIFY

Bumps and Jumps

The description of “….jumps where most motorcycle racers clear off the ground, drivers of cars at slow speeds might not even notice a bump…..” WP:MADEUP is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:N. For the purposes of the BRD discussion then an explanation is required for the origin of this research. WP:CITE, WP:V, WP:PROVIT

The Snaefell Mountain Course or Four-Inch course has not been used for cars or automobile racing since 1922. There is no comparison between a modern racing motor-cycle in the 1000cc Superbike class and a modern 21st Century European vehicle with softly-sprung suspension.WP:NOTRELIABLE WP:VERIFY Also, “wheelie’s can be created by leaning back on the seat, pulling on the handlebars with the use of the clutch and therefore not related to speed, road surface, bumps or engine power. (Cf Ballaugh Bridge.) WP:MADEUP

The racing motor-cycles in the 1000cc class which conform to WSB rules can execute ‘power-wheelies’ in every gear up to 160 mph and this irrespective of the road surface or change in gradient. The ‘bumps’ are visible to motor-cycle competitors and also other types of roads vehicles including cars driven in both directions on open roads not closed for racing. The Snaefell Mountain Course is notorious for the poor road surface and ‘bumps’ in the road which can visibly be seen and also be felt at any speed. This includes the motor-cycle competitors that complain about many sections of the course and also by the drivers of other types of vehicles on public roads in both directions.WP:NOTRELIABLE WP:VERIFY

Naming Practices

There is no citation that the individual corners are “named and notable” and a) the naming practices are described in the Snaefell Mountain Course article, b) not all the named corners are “notable” and c) the creative issues in the selection of this list items has not been acknowledge with a citation(s) which is required by Wikipedia WP:CITE. Other Wikipedia articles for motor-racing venues do not have this comparison of “Named Practices” section which again duplicates the section in the main Snaefell Mountain course article.

The explanation that “….The turns aren't labelled by numbers as done on other short racing circuits…..” contradicts the Executive summary, the Named Corners section of the main Snaefell Mountain Course article and the Naming Practices section which describes the issue as “….naming of corners elsewhere is usually less salient…..” which contradicts the “named and notable” statement. With United Kingdom and European practices that corners are named rather than using a numbering system found in the USA. For the purposes of the BRD discussion then an explanation is required for the origin of this research as it is largely irrelevant to the Executive Summary or list article and is original research. WP:OR, WP:CITE, WP:N, WP:V, WP:PROVIT

There are no citations for the explanation for most of the claims. The origin of the use of the name “Verandah” is unknown and the name the “The Nook” does not fall into the category of the corner’s “physical shape” and there is no citation for this claim. The Creg-ny-Baa is not named after a pub as the official title is the “Keppel Hotel” and is actually name is ‘Creg-ny-Baa’ is derived from Manx Gaelic place name naming practices which is an obscure reference to post-glacial landscaping in the area. The name Keppel or Keppel Gate is from the nearby mountain name and the term “namesake” is not used in British-English and its use in the article is confusing. The gate existed at the site until the early 1970’s, the gate-post remains at the site along with sheep folds and accompanying “gates.”

Road-Traffic

The ‘racing season’ in the Isle of Man is from March to October and not ‘several weeks.’ The one-way system on the A18 Snaefell Mountain Road are not “provisions” that “....allow racers and visiting motorcyclists to learn the corners and practice on the course.” WP:OR WP:V It is illegal and prohibited for “racers” and “visiting motorcyclists” to “practice” on the public roads. There are two single-lane carriageway sections with speed restriction on the ‘one-way system’ and a third single-lane carriageway section with traffic lights. The one-way system is also patrolled by unmarked police cars and police motor-cycles with standing police patrols at certain intersections. The overall high traffic densities do not allow for “practice” on this section of the A18 Mountain Road or other parts of the course that have temporary speed restrictions. The one-way system is from Ramsey Hairpin to Creg-ny-Baa. This description is largely irrelevant for the Executive summary as the “one-way” system applies only to the Isle of Man TT and not to the Isle of Man Festival of Motor-Cycling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agljones (talkcontribs) 13:29, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

I number my replies for easier reference later.
E1: The above complaints seem to be about the lede to the list-article. There is no section in the list-article labelled "Executive Summary". You don't mean for this to be an executive summary of your complaints here, do you? This discussion page section seems to be mis-named, it would better be named "Complaints about the lede section" or "Complaints about the introduction".
E2: You lose almost all my good will by your obtuse assertion that "60 named corners" (now appearing as "more than 60 named corners, bends, straightaways, and other features" after this edit just now by me, despite my believing it was already clear enough that the list-article covers non-corners, too) is contradicted by a source claiming that there are 264 turns. The list-article currently lists 65 named corners and other features. Why should I or any other editor read any further? I would appreciate if you would strike out (strike out) or otherwise retract this inane complaint. --doncram 14:17, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Some named corners on other courses, and category of named corners

Laguna Seca racecourse map with three named corners and one other named feature (a straightaway)
Spa race track has several named features

I was referred to the 2014 AFD on Ginger Hall, and notice a comment that happened to be negative about that article but which mentioned some other courses' named corners:

A not particularly notable corner on a road that happens to be used for motor racing a couple of times a year. In comparison to Eau Rouge/Radillon at Spa, and the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, this corner is not remotely notable... and those corners wouldn't be given their own article. A lot of people who don't follow the big motorsports will still know Eau Rouge and the Corkscrew, but Ginger Hall? No, not remotely. Using primary sources to claim that it is a major vantage point isn't going to help the keep !voters' arguments. User:Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:59, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

They don't necessarily require articles but could be mentioned in appropriate course articles, and there could be redirects to sensible anchors from:

Also I am reminded that some time ago there was a category for named corners that got deleted or converted. (Where was the discussion/decision that put them into misnomer Category: Roads in the Isle of Man, instead?) Subsequently the notability of various named corners has been solidly established so the Category:Named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course (currently a redlink) oughta be re-established. And should there be an additional category termed a bit broader to include other "attractions" or "features" or whatever. Perhaps Category:Named features of the Snaefell Mountain Course? That can include the named corners as a subcategory and also named straightaways and intersections and grandstands and more. In other racecourses there may be named chicanes and other types of features.

Then named corners like the Corkscrew can be put into a parent Category:Named corners of racecourses or the like. Perhaps raise this at WikiProject MotorSport and/or WikiProject Formula One? --doncram 05:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Toward those ends, I set up Category:Named corners of raceways and Category:Named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course, each with a few members to start. Suggestions on wording and otherwise would be welcome. --doncram 05:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Should the brief phrase be "named turns" or "named features", instead? In the history of Wikipedia coverage of the Snaefell Mountain Course before I was ever involved, "named corners" was used, whether or not the feature was or is more of a gentle curve or even a straightaway. If there is some agreement that another phrase should be used, perhaps this article should be renamed, and reworded in the lede. (User:Agljones, do you have an opinion which you could share in this already-opened discussion topic, instead of leaving it to other editors to decipher what your specific opinion on this might be? This is an invitation to converse differently.) --doncram 17:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Corner Names.

Star[t]line.

Not a corner. No citations for the descriptions of the area behind race spectator area and Grandstand. Race paddock in Nobles Park and previously situated in Greenfield Road. WP:V

St. Ninians.

Not a notable corner. Both photos breach Wikipedia guidelines on image size and placement. One photo is serious breach of photo guidelines. MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE WP:NOTMIRROR Description of ‘left-jink’ is original research WP:OR and no citations for this “description.” No citation for traffic lights which is not relevant to list article which duplicates information in another Wikipedia article.

Bray Hill

The description of “very steep descent” and “with a slight curve” is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:N along with the comment about “sudden bottoming-out.” The description of “slightly curving hill” is incorrect and unclear what this description refers too. The description “….the physics…. causes bikes to unload suspension….after base compression…at 160 mph” and is the use of a rare and unusual technical terms without a citation.WP:V WP:MADEUP In British-English the term “bikes” is also used for “bicycles” which also use the same course.

Quarterbridge Road

The description of “…..After the bottom of Bray Hill, a subsequent steep rise (previously known as Brown's Hill) causes modern race machines to wheelie up a stretch now famously known as "Ago's leap" (after 1960s-70s Italian race-ace Giacomo Agostini…..” is Original Research WP:OP and no citations. WP:V The description of “….after multi side-road junction…” is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:NWP:MOS.

It is unclear if there has been a transcription error, that “the subsequent steep rise (previously known as Brown's Hill)” after Bray Hill is inaccurate and incorrect. The ‘local name’ of “Brown’s Hill’ was a section of Alexander Drive from the junction with Quarterbridge Road, including the property known as “Woodlands” as far as the junction with Albany Road and later Devonshire Road in the town of Douglas which is supported with two saliently “factually” citations from the author Broderick and also Slack (“Streets of Douglas Old and New”).

The name “Ago’s Leap” is not an official course name and the term “crowning-out” is not used in British-English and the term “road crown” refers to highest point of any road surface for drainage. Description of the changes to the “road surface” in 1978/1979 and the changes in the period 1982-1988 is incorrect and has no relevance to “Ago’s departure” during the 1972 racing season. Along with the descriptions of “wheelies,” “modern machines” and engine power is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:N and not relevant to this list item or the list article. (cf “modern machines” see photos of Freddie Firth or J.H. ‘Crasher’ White in the 1930’s or Ray Amm in the 1950’s).

The FIM Moto GP World Championship and FIM World Superbike Championship both also use the larger capacity engines. The power output of the four-stroke 350cc and 500cc MV Agusta racing motor-cycles has been confused with the much later 1970’s two-stroke 500cc Suzuki machines. The publication by Wright TT Milestones describes Agostini’s riding style as “ flamboyant “ and along with the light-front wheel of the MV Agusta motor-cycles produced wheelies on Quarterbridge Road. (See also photos of Agostini at the ‘Mountain’ Cadwell Park in 1965) The explanation of “steep descent” and “heavy breaking area ”is again is original research WP:OR with no citation WP:N and blogging in a commercial style not suitable for Wikipedia.

The citation from the 1970 Carrick publication does not support use of Selborne Drive as part of start line or use of “side-turning.” The use of photograph [img] (the technical inspection for the 1911 Isle of Man Junior TT occurred at the property “Woodlands” in Alexander Drive and not in Selborne Drive. The direction of shadows in the photograph would suggest about 8am and the end of an early morning practice session. In the background there is bike number 42 from the Senior class and along with the lack of crowds, pit attendants or officials it again suggests a practice session and not the 1911 Junior TT race which was held during poor weather conditions. Also, Brunswick Road and Thorny Road were also used by competitors. The reference to the photo [img] is Original Research WP:OP see talk:pages Windy Corner. [4]

Waterworks

WP:N The ‘Waterworks Corner’ is described for the purposes of independent notability WP:N as only one corner which overlooks the Ballure Reservoir. There are two or three right-hand bends above the Ramsey Hairpin before reaching the bend at the single ‘Waterworks Corner.’ The citation incorrectly refers to two bends at the single ‘Waterworks Corner.’ The 2006 Google maps show a sign for the ‘Waterworks’ [5] showing a single bend placed at the site of the entrance to nearby Glen public footpath. This sign has been replaced with the new style sign and for safety placed in another position and the revised sign reflects this overall change. (cf Old and New Quarry Bends sign) The other “bend” is adjacent to the entrance to the main public footpath and this ‘bend’ was modified in the early 1990’s after a large landslip to the cliff-face to include a small retaining wall which diverted public road traffic travelling in a north-bound direction. The area above the 26th Milestone near to Guthrie’s Memorial was also previously referred to as the “Waterworks” or the “Waterworks Bridge” which was also “two bends.” The Isle of Man has a number of places called the ‘Waterworks’ including the former site at Greenfield Road, Douglas and also Sulby Reservoir. The term Waterworks can be misunderstood for the nearby Ballure Reservoir. [6]

There are some general complaints in this section and some specific to individual items. AGLJONES, I would rather not cut up your comments in this section if you do not wish that, but it is unwieldy to reply down here below to each corner-specific complaint above. Do you mind if I and others insert replies at each corner item above?
In general, I agree that use of British English would be fine, and if there are extremely specific suggestions which would replace a quote of American-style wording by a suggested quote of revised wording, I would want to agree. However, in the past I recall that some of your similar complaints turned out to be cases when I had repeated the wording you yourself had used in a linked article. We could address specific suggestions at corner items above. (Do you mind if your complaints above get cut up, in order to do that?) --doncram 14:30, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
This discussion section's title "Corner names" seems off. There is no complaint about the names of all of these items, is there?
If we don't cut up the discussion above, I guess we could discuss the complaints one by one down here, although I can't imagine ever finishing. So, okay, about the Startline: Yes, the startline is not a corner. I have revised the lede further to make it clearer that this is a list of features including non-corners. The complaint "No citations for the descriptions of the area behind race spectator area and Grandstand" and wp:V seems to be complaining about the following phrase (which is not followed by a footnote): "Concourse with pre-race assembly area, start/finishline, spectator seating, scoreboard, race control, pitlane, re-fuelling, scrutineering, trophy presentation, retailing, hospitality, exhibitions." To be interpreted as sentence "There is a concourse with..." Is there anything factually wrong about the phrase/sentence? If there is nothing wrong and there is nothing controversial, a footnote does not have to be used. Is that not a fair summary of the linked article? There should be more footnotes there, do you question the text of the article? Do you have an alternative preferred wording (with or without a source)? About the complaint "Race paddock in Nobles Park and previously situated in Greenfield Road", that is not a sentence, and I don't know how to make it into a sentence, and I don't get what you are driving at. Please explain. --doncram 06:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Startline

Wikipedia is very clear that citations have to be provided and the information to be verifiable WP:V and its incorrect to state that “…..nothing wrong and there is nothing controversial, a footnote does not have to be used.” The description for the article row for the Startline does not accurately reflect the linked article which also does not have any citations for the same description. The article row is a summary of the content for the term “concourse” used in the linked article. The incorrect description of two photographs in the linked article TT Grandstand which contain the term “concourse” is ‘saliently’ Original Research WP:OP without a citation WP:V and not permitted by Wikipedia. The discussion by different editors at the talk:page for the Windy Corner confirm that this type of analysis in respect to the two photographs in the linked article confirms that the use of the term “concourse” in the accompanying text is Original Research WP:OP and insufficient to define independent notability WP:N for the article in this context of 'non-notable' bend.

I have not been able to find a citation for the term “Concourse” used in the linked article. The 2016 Isle of Man TT guide states “TT Course” and not “Snaefell Mountain Course” and displays “Startline,” “Grid” and “Race Paddock” numbered A to D....etc which is not an accurate statement of “…Concourse with pre-race assembly area, start/finishline….” or “…. concourse with parc ferme to extreme right….. pre-race marshaling area for machines to extreme left, concourse with grandstand to left…” as described incorrectly in the linked article. These terms cannot be used legitimately for the article row as they refer to the Isle of Man TT and the “TT Course” and not “Snaefell Mountain Course” in the article. The term Concourse is not used in British-English in this context and may also be a reference to a Concours d'Elegance used at different types of sporting-events.

The requirement for the sentence that it is compulsory that it possesses a verb and the word “situated” fulfils this requirement.

The BRD discussion highlights problems with the article rows and linked articles. In this case, due to the incorrect Original Research WP:OP it is not possible to develop the linked article to include current or historical information as it would contradict / duplicate / summarise the article row. Due to the continued emphasis as a ‘non-notable’ “name of a curve of the Snaefells Mountain Course,” the linked article will be subjected to the AfD process and the article be deleted. Any editor that registered an objection to the AfD process is not in position to make complaints about the length of the sections of the BRD discussions and should be seen in the context as gaming the system, WP:GAME acting unilaterally and article ownership WP:OWN. agljones(talk)11:37, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Is this argument for the sake of argument? I will respond to 2 elements out of the above:
1) The use of the term "concourse" in the summary about "Startline" and, with wikilinked concourse, in the linked article is now objected to. Okay, I went to the Concourse article and expanded its lede in this edit in order to clarify that the term "concourse" is a general term about a place where crowds gather. As demonstrated in Merriam-Webster's dictionary definition, there is no requirement that there be multiple notable pathways/roadways/railroad tracks converging. The usage of the term "concourse" is fine. Perhaps my edit at concourse is unnecessary and will be reverted. This is silly.
2) I asked above what was meant by the non-sentence "Race paddock in Nobles Park and previously situated in Greenfield Road". The reply is an assertion that the non-sentence is a sentence. How silly. That doesn't really help us in communicating, because I still don't get what the string of words was intended to convey, at all. This is silly.
All I get from this is that an editor has general antipathy towards this list-article. I have understood this already. This doesn't need to be developed a lot more. --doncram 19:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

The original article for the TT Grandstand was created by the User:Mauls [8] and this editor created a number of similar related articles before quickly abandoning them which caused confusion amongst editors. The ‘lede’ sentence for the article TT Grandstand has no citation for independent notability WP:N and does not satisfy the lede paragraph structure requirements.WP:MOS, WP:LEDE. The Snelling citation does not support independent nobility of the linked article WP:N or the structure of the 'lede' sentence. The Kniverton citation may partly support the issue of independent notability for the linked article, but also not support the structure of the 'lede' sentence and no objection is made to this author or citation when compared to this edit for another linked article [9] (?) WP:MOS

As I have previously stated I have not been able to find a citation for the term for the term “Concourse” used in the linked article. The source used as a citation does not use this term and also states “TT Course” and not “Snaefell Mountain Course.” WP:V, WP:MODERNPLACENAME The description used in the linked article is Original Research WP:OP relative to the photographs. The 2016 Isle of Man TT Guide refers to Race Paddock A, the Parc fermé area and “the pit lane.” There area in front of the TT Grandstand is “the pit-lane, ” the pit-lane return road and a small area in front of the west-side of TT Grandstand building which is a restricted area. The layout of the new 1986 TT Grandstand had to be amended after the first race meeting after safety concerns in respect to the restricted areas and “the pit-lane” and these small alterations may or may not give the impression of a “Concourse.” There is also "the pit-lane" counter and road-side ARMCO guard-rail which is restricted to pit-attendants during racing. There is no citation for use of the term “concourse” or “...an open space or hall (as in a railway terminal) where crowds gather....” as the areas described in the citation in the linked article or the 2016 Isle of Man TT guide are either paddock areas or subject to Parc fermé regulations. From the citation in the main TT Grandstand article it is not possible to determine the small restricted area in front the TT Grandstand from the Parc fermé area described as a “concourse” or the position of the Assembly area WP:V which prior to the 1986 TT Grandstand was historically held in different areas.

The the article rows titled “Glencrutchery Road” and “Deceleration lane and Return road” are duplication's of the "startline" article row or have no citations which cannot be verified, are inaccurate and contradict the purpose of the TT Grandstand linked article. WP:V Other historic issues (Greenfield Road, Assembly Area, Winners enclosure, etc, etc...) should be merged back to the main article and the double-plus twin-track approach to editing should be abandoned as it 'saliently' does not allow the inclusion of new information or the development of the Isle of Man TT motor-cycle network of articles. agljones(talk)21:28, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
