List of second-tier formula racing champions

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Do we need another list of champions when these lists about championships all have their own listing, thus making this completely unnecessary. Unnecessary WP:FANCRUFT list that is only good for the most obsessive motorsport fans, also WP:LC and WP:NOTDIRECTORY applies. Also, not notable enough to pass WP:LISTN, in fact fails all requirements. SpacedFarmer (talk) 09:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete – As I said on the first nomination in this set of articles, this is a very straightforward delete. Procedure wise, this could definitely have been handled as a batch nomination as the reasoning is identical for all articles of this type. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 09:39, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Unlike many of the similar recent nominations, I think this has some potential. At the moment this article is stuck trying to be multiple things at once. I think it is possibly reasonable to keep a list of champions (and by default, seasons) of just the original F2 into F3000 into GP2 into the current F2. It is not unusual for these to be grouped together (indeed the navboxes on our articles such as 1984 European Formula Two Championship and 1985 European Formula 3000 Championship reflect this), and for example Motorsport Magazine considers GP2/F2 to be one championship, and on if under "group" you select "F2/F3000/GP2", it gives all of the above, plus the FIA Formula Two Championship (2009–2012) and 1960 Formula Two season. So this is not a hard failure of WP:LISTN. I would suggest removing all but the above mentioned championships, and probably mergeing it into one table (with perhaps the "revived" F2 as a separate section).
