 * – ( View AfD View log )

This long, painful to read directory still contains the same issues that led to it's being nominated two times in the past. "It is just a laundry list of nicknames, many of which are either unsourced, or of drivers who aren't notable in the slightest." is a direct quote from the 1st nom, and is still a valid reason that has not been addressed. Furthermore, drivers which are notable enough to have their own articles, contain their nicknames in the opening sentence of their BLPs, in accordance with MOS:NAME. Nicknames alone should not be allowed to pass WP:LISTN. Also, the main person arguing to keep the list time has since been banned for sockpuppetry.

 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory and I see no evidence that it passes WP:LISTN. SSSB (talk) 12:45, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Still do not see how this satisfies WP:LISTN. Cannot see anything near WP:SIGCOV of this. No idea why so many people defended this during the previous AFD. Just no encyclopedic value.Tvx1 13:37, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - an unencyclopaedic list that fails WP:LISTN. Also see WP:IINFO Spiderone  11:49, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
