AOR Racing season 12

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article for an online video game racing league with no indication of meeting WP:GNG or of any WP:SIGCOV in third party sources. An article about the website which runs the league (Apex Online Racing) was previously deleted after AFD discussion in July 2016. Original PROD by User:Pichpich was deleted by page author with rationale given at Talk:AOR Racing season 12. RA 0808 talkcontribs 00:03, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

 * The original AFD also had a pair of season articles attached and subsequently deleted. This also is a delete, both per the nom and the evident precedent. --Izno (talk) 00:15, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Has this article actually done any harm to anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjr17 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * This isn't about harm, it's about the standards Wikipedia has set for what is included in the encyclopedia. An online racing league that receives no outside coverage is simply not notable (see WP:N). RA 0808  talkcontribs 00:36, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of basically everything in the world. You can see that it is a RACING LEAGUE with links to the races. This is a RELIABLE source. There is nothing wrong with making an article on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjr17 (talk • contribs) 09:41, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of basically everything in the world." - Wrong. Read the policy page RA0808 linked for you.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:20, 19 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - As stated, the Apex Online Racing AfD sets a clear precedent. Moreover, all the sources for the article appear to be WP: PRIMARY.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * This WP stuff makes no sense! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjr17 (talk • contribs) 13:26, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete the league isn't notable and neither is an individual season. Lepricavark (talk) 16:11, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete – Not notable.  ~barakokula31  (talk)  16:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Cjr17 (talk) 18:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)How do I make it notable then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjr17 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * You can't "make" something notable, it either is notable or it isn't. A league run by a group of online racing game players that has received no significant coverage in unaffiliated reliable sources does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Again, please see WP:N and WP:YFA. RA 0808  talkcontribs 23:12, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I originally put a PROD tag on the article. I agree with the above: this does not meet the general notability criterion for inclusion. Pichpich (talk) 17:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probably just a snow vote at this point, but I was unable to find anything either. All the sources in the article are YouTube videos or primary. Fails WP:GNG for these reasons.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   06:05, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Lepricavark. Sergecross73   msg me  15:38, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I cant be boverd arguing with you guys, you might aswell just take it down now. Cjr17 (talk) 15:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Until you do some research as to what things factor in on whether or not subjects get their own articles, this is probably correct. But these things usually run for 7 days unless someone uninvolved closes it early. Sergecross73   msg me  15:43, 21 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - No third-party sources that shows the event notability, easily fails WP:GNG. TheDeviantPro (talk) 10:11, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
