2001 EA Sports 500

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT. Single reference is to a score page. WP:BEFORE only turned up short mentions within larger articles.  // Timothy ::  talk  23:14, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - Probably most sources for a race from 2001 would be offline. Also I would question the relevance of applying WP:SPORTSEVENT to motor races since although the link is "event", the description refers to "games". I was able to find a couple of sources writing about this race, one written just this year,, . I unfortunately don't have time to add much to this article myself however.

 * Delete/merge Per nom.  Also this article has existed for a 1/2 year, and the race was 19 years ago and the text is just a statement that it existed.   No sources to make a real article out of it.  Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per the additional sources found by A7V2. WhinyTheYounger (talk) 02:02, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 01:16, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep book sources should be plentiful during NASCAR's heyday yet before online was popular. It needs improvement not deletion. One excellent online RS is Racing Reference.  Royal broil  02:51, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Results and reports can be added. Books, newspaper articles and the sources A7V2 has provided should suffice for notablity purposes. FozzieHey (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
