Mongolia charity rally

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Noteability not asserted in article. The external links do not offer any substantial information on the event, let alone confirm noteability. The first two are self-promotion, the third a blog written by participants (hosted, but not otherwise supported by The Guardian), and the fourth a short report about two other participants in a regional newspaper.

 * Comment: Note that there also is the Mongol Rally, (existed for many years and clearly noteable), so that any news reporting needs careful examination to check which event it's actually about. As it turns out, both of your links are about the "wrong" one. --Latebird (talk) 09:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooops, sorry, see what you mean now! Confused by people calling the other one 'Mongolian' and 'charity' etc.. -Hunting dog (talk) 10:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, no evidence of notability from WP:RS, appears to be part of a WP:COATRACK related to Go help, which is also up for AfD. -- Kinu t /c  02:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, I came here after purging the Banger Rally page of spam and advertising for non-existent and start up events. Unlike most of the (profit making) banger rally events that were on that page, a quick look at the website for this one shows it to be a genuine charity affair with maybe 100 teams and a press area that lists external news reports: . The London Naadam with the Mongolians has probably had press coverage too. --Sce1313 (talk) 18:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - That link points to a list of publications, comprised of individual team presentations in regional newspapers (appropriatedly labelled "team publicity") and a few press releases. However, I don't see significant coverage of the event itself and its organisers. --Latebird (talk) 08:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - lack of media coverage. Apart from The Guardian, I only found this trivial mention in The Times. Pity, because it appears to be a good cause. PhilKnight (talk) 13:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
