List of 2007 national Grands Prix

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Don't see the need for this article - most of the information is already at 2007 Formula One season.

I suggest deletion rather than redirecting Gbawden (talk) 13:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Firstly it is not a list of Formula One races. Pay attention and re-read.
 * Secondly - no it should not be redirected because as a collection of disparate races there is no one redirect target that is appropriate.
 * Thirdly - the concept of national grand prix as a concept is not well established and probably fails Notability. However you "Don't see the need for this article" is not a valid reason for deletion. When you have a valid reason for deleting it, re-list and I will support. Yes I am the originating author, but I will not lose sleep over its deletion. However I do not want WP:IDONTLIKEIT established as a valid reason to delete articles.
 * So call this a KEEP. --Falcadore (talk) 15:18, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Listing a selection of events that all happen to be called "grand prix" doesn't seem to match Wikipedia policies about lists or disambiguation pages. Why not include other types of grand prix, e.g. British Grand Prix (athletics)? Or other 2007 races that aren't called Grand Prix if the subject is "not well established and probably fails Notability"? But there is the possibility that it could be improved: it could be moved to a more descriptive title like 2007 in motor sports if there isn't already a similar article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:53, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply The intent was to specify those Grand Prix named for their nation - thus excluding events like the European Grand Prix or the Detriot Grand Prix and including non-Formula One races like the New Zealand Grand Prix and the Danish Grand Prix. But as I said, the nominating editor has not provided a reason for the article to be deleted. --Falcadore (talk) 10:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - the only additional GP listed was the NZ GP. People associate GP with F1, not with open wheel car racing. If this article is so important link to it - as it stands its an orphan and nothing reaches there so no-one is likely to know about it anyway Gbawden (talk) 10:17, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Isn't it Wikipedia's role to inform when that perception is in error? My primary objection is that you have not offered ANY reason to delete the article. You don't see the need for this article. That's essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT which has never been an acceptable reason for deleting an article. --Falcadore (talk) 08:05, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Unnecessary fork of relevant race series Seasider91 (talk) 10:23, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Really not needed and odd. Results can be found on their articles/mainarticles/season articles. Kante4 (talk) 19:02, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
