Proposed Deletion

Oppose The problem with Motor-Cycle racing articles and biographies is that they are very underdeveloped compared to other sports. In respect to the Isle of Man TT Races it is a very different event compared to other motor-cycle racing events as it is run on public roads and is a time-trial. The Isle of Man TT Races at one time was part of the FIM World Championship and was more important as an event than all the other world championship round put together. This situation was comparable to the Indy 500, the Le Mans 24 Hour race, Monte Carlo Rally or the Monaco Grand Prix. Furthermore, motor-cycle racing is a specialised sport and certain competitors may only compete or specialise in the smaller classes and is more significant than the "left-handed golfer playing with the 5 iron...." argument. The categories also provided encyclopaedic value and also on-line editors that specialise in motor-cycle racing articles it allows them to monitor articles that they may not be aware that had been created and in-turn edit or provided extra links.
