Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frisian Solar Challenge


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. No prejudice against another nomination but clearly at four relists this one is going nowhere. Perhaps a merge or a renaming discussion would be worth it as well given the concerns about the new name? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 12:16, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Frisian Solar Challenge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hi all - the information on this page is very difficult, if not impossible, to verify. The current information all seems to be in regard to one iteration of the race, and does not reference specific dates. Upon trying to research the subject, a few websites offhandedly seemed to suggest that the race was renamed the Dutch Solar Challenge in 2016. Mavrab (talk) 10:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment, theres stuff out there a quick gsearch brought up these (they're wikiblocked/filtered so editors can enter heading in goog to look at them) - World Cup for Solar Powered Boats, Solar boat race: Fourth edition registers forty, Racing Solar Boats in The Netherlands, whether they're wikiarticleworthy i'll leave it to others.

Keep and rename to DONG Energy Solar Challenge. Dong Energy Solar Challenge would technically be even better but not consistent with our other article, DONG Energy. Hence my current preference for the name with the caps (we should solve the problems of one article at a time).

Please note that the name in the logo ("Dong Energy Sollarchallenge"), while it has Dong better written, also contains a grotesque Dutchism. Name in the text here (not in the logo) should be held as official and is used elsewhere.

Event also has a Dutch name, Friese zonnebootrace, a beautiful name without the sponsorship, however since there is a common English it should be preferred. Problem with referencing was that our name combines parts of different names and is as such OR.

Following the English or Dutch name, one will see that the subject is well covered in the Dutch press and solar energy media. When renaming please do not forget to create redirects at the other names I wikified in this response and to change the name on the template that is in the article. gidonb (talk) 03:14, 5 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
