 * Delete. Not notable. Extensive refs break down into mostly company handouts to the press. One is on an injury suffered there which apparently was not notable in the long run; a second was a peripheral reference which revolved around mom and pop businesses. The rest were handouts. Appears to be WP:SPAM & WP:PR. Student7 (talk) 00:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 00:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Question for nominator - what does WP:PR have to do with this article? --Falcadore (talk) 00:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The article provides a sense of importance for what is really a Mom and Pop business. Like the corner grocer, only with more people hanging around. More like a bowling alley, I guess. Student7 (talk) 17:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You didn't actually answer the question! Jeni  ( talk ) 00:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That doesn't even remotely pass close to an answer to the question, please I ask again, what has WP:PR to do with this article? Do you even know what WP:PR is? --Falcadore (talk) 01:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep unless there is a specific policy against articles on small race tracks. Enough references to establish that its existence has been recognized. Steve Dufour (talk) 01:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep meets criteria for WP:V and from a variety of sources, inc national newspaper. Other similar venues have articles, so see no reason that this one shouldn't. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 08:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. Jeni  ( talk ) 10:20, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete No notability asserted in article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:53, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge with Angmering, where it is. Karting is not a major sport in UK and in national terms this is a NN venue, though no doubt significant locally.  Merger is often the best solution for local sports facilities, churches, village halls, primary schools, etc.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Just as a note, this is a motor racing track, rather than karting, although that does take plce as well. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 18:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
