Havasu 95 Speedway

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Procedural nomination of contested PROD. Original concern noted by was "Searching does not find anything suggesting this racetrack is particularly noteworthy; this is also obviously promotional (see history)." &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 20:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment When evaluating the PROD, I found several newspaper articles, implying that further research might turn up enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, so I contested the PROD on that basis. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 20:06, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * My search didn't show anything promising; if you find anything, present it here, please. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 23:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Certainly. There's this and this to start. Especially that second one, which mentions a (short) NASCAR race being held there, which certainly lends support for notability, even though isn't enough on its own. Those two aren't enough by themselves, but it is enough to merit a full discussion. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 08:15, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: Darkwind: The coverage is rather local, no? הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 00:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The articles I found were indeed in a local paper, but it looks like Bushranger found an example of national-level coverage. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 04:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Is a NASCAR touring series track. References. While there is quite a bit of local coverage, there is also national: (note this is a Turner Sports property), and there is also certain to be significant coverage in pre-Internet dead-tree sources. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:19, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The references exist to my satisfaction. In other words, it meets our standards of notability via WP:RS. Jus  da  fax   05:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
