Talk:Bump and run (auto racing)

Wrong Information
The article should describe Bump & Run (contacting someone in a turn to force a spin), not Bump Drafting (contact to mutually increase speed).Mustang6172 08:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Could this and similar "driver tactics" descriptions be merged into a single article? DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 13:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

As this is the only such article at present, I'm marking this as a move / renaming discussion. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 01:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. They should remain separate so that an article can wikilink to the specific tactic. Royal broil  14:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Why can't a wikilink for the tactic redirect to a page listing all such tactics? Finding the tactic in the page contents should be a minor concern. My concern is that there's so little to say about each tactic that it becomes a collection of many pages of trivial articles. At the very least, if they are to be kept as multiple separate articles, "Nascar tactics" should be a category so that people can find them all in one place. IMO an article about "Nascar Tactics" is more encyclopaedic than a collection of trivial articles, one per tactic, describing each tactic in two or three paragraphs each. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 16:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * A separate article on each tactic allows it to grow. I'm sure that there are several notable examples of bump and run (for example). Linking to anchor tags in the middle of a different article is cumbersome and requires medium level wikicoding beyond what an average Wikipedian would do. I don't have a problem with a NASCAR tactics category, although the Category:NASCAR terminology doesn't have very many entries. Please be careful about throwing around the word "trivial", because what is unimportant trivia to you is not trivial to others. Royal broil  17:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't believe that there is a demonstrable need to wikilink to individual tactics. If each tactic is to be described in a couple of paragraphs, then it is more encyclopaedic to have a single article discussing the various tactics, rather than dictionary definitions of each tactic. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 01:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I will bring up this proposed move at WikiProject NASCAR, since it affects numerous articles in the WikiProject. Obviously we completely disagree about the proposed merge. Royal broil  04:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Eventually we'll stumble upon tactics used in other forms of racing, and that'll just lead to some kerfuffle about where the information belongs.Mustang6172 07:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
