 * Keep - a poor article that needs work, but the event meets WP:GNG in terms of motor racing events. The guideline cited in the deletion appear to only relate to biographies NealeFamily (talk) 23:36, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:SPORTSEVENT is not for biographies. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:SPORTSEVENT doesn't appear incredibly useful in this situation, instead it mainly points back to GNG. Mattlore (talk) 03:00, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

A search for this under article name and alternative name "nissan sports 500" yields nothing including in GBooks which may include older events like this. LibStar (talk) 02:35, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Article could be improved, but the event appears notable. Mattlore (talk) 22:56, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:ITSNOTABLE is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - Once this article is improved, then it would be under the WP:GNG guidelines. Matt294069 is coming 00:23, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * so are you admitting in its current state it fails WP:GNG? LibStar (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * That is what I am saying so yes. Matt294069 is coming 05:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment I see the page creator hasn't been notified so I will leave him a message. Mattlore (talk) 02:56, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep As the second largest motorsport event held in New Zealand that year, notability should not be in question. That the article fails to illustrate this point is the problem. --Falcadore (talk) 23:16, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
