Arachnaphobia (truck)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline. I am not seeing anything about monster trucks at Notability (sports) and anyway, logic suggests that it is drivers, not their vehicles, that are notable, though I get how the named trucks may throw a wrench, pun intended, into this field. Still, no sources have been added to this in the past 15 years, the AfD then (Articles for deletion/Archnaphobia (truck)) was no consensus, I think it is time to revisit this.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: Checking List of monster trucks there are many; some have substantial pages, a few are as thin as this page on content. Nearly all pages have citation tags, editors jumping up and down about appropriate sources for this form of entertainment. Keep and add the improve sources tag. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a particularly strong argument, and tagging for more sources is not going to do much - nobody found any in 15 years, and neither me nor Gab4gab below found any now. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 00:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete fails to satisfy the general notability guideline. Searching for coverage finds very little.  There are multiple wiki articles which are not helpful to notability. The best I found was, which is not signifcant coverage having about six sentences.  One of the wiki articles claimed this truck retired in 2011 so I wouldn't expect to find much recent coverage.  Some monster trucks probably have enough coverage to be notable.  This one apparently does not.  Happy to reconsider if better sources surface. Gab4gab (talk) 13:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
