 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete as unresolved copyvio per findings below. No judgement yet made on whether a non-copyvio article would be encyclopedic. Rossami (talk) 06:25, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nez Perce Stake Race
Non-notable horse race, or dicdef thereof. Radiant! 11:20, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Presumably a significant part of Nez Perce culture, since horses were very important to them, and a notable use of the Appaloosa breed of horse. Would you delete steeplechase if it was just a dicdef? Kappa 12:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but I would transwiki it. Radiant! 12:55, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * The policy is "Can never be more than a dictionary definition (dicdef) -> move to wiktionary." Kappa 13:03, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Reference: The ApHC rulebook is available as a free pdf download from (The Appaloosa Horse Club) but be aware that it is a 272 page pdf file at 2.91 Mb. The pdf handbook is indeed identified as © 2005 by The Appaloosa Horse Club, Inc. Nez Perce Stake Race (added by the same editor) is also copied from the same handbook. -DialUp 02:39, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC) (Copied over from Copyright problems re the discussion for Camas Prairie Stump Race and Camas Prairie Stump Race/Temp) DialUp 16:50, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * My preference would be for it to be merged, by someone who knows about, it into the "Nez Perce horse breeding program" section of the very good Nez Perce article. Probably worth a mention there, but otherwise unless it can be improved upon (means very little to me as it is written), delete.  HowardB 17:37, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, dictionary definition, possible copyright violation. Megan1967 22:44, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: The Stake race is affiliated with the Appaloosa Horse Club (not with the Nez Perce horse program) which has more than 150 local organizations and more than 33,000 members worldwide. Many of the local organization sponsor these gaming events and this event is one in which the parent organization ranks horses at the National Show each year (yes, I downloaded their handbook). I think a stub would be appropriate, but on a temp page. This page is a copy vio. DialUp 05:31, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Note to Administrators. My vote was to keep but looks as if I wasn't clear. If the vote is not for a clear delete, perhaps you can delete anyway so it won't have to be listed on WP:CP. I'll go ahead and create a sports stub similar to the Stump Race stub to keep the link active until some one writes an article about all the gaming races. Then perhaps they can be merged together. Leave a message here or at User talk:DialUp letting me know your decision. DialUp 15:56, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
