 * Delete. Mainly an article to promote this company. WP:PR, WP:SPAM. Student7 (talk) 21:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 21:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep This has 181 hits on gnews alone and is clearly notable. I don't find it overly promotional in tone, but even if it was that is not a valid reason for deletion. WP:PR leads to peer review, hardly a rationale for deletion. Yoenit (talk) 22:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep general precedent seems to be that venues of notable sporting events tend to be notable. I agree I don't see much of an advertising tone. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  23:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a notable venue both within Australia and internationally. All other MotoGP and V8 Supercars tracks have articles, as well as a vast array of sporting venues within Australia, even if the articles are brief or the venues have less significance.

 * Keep Not spam. It is one of Australia's most notable tracks, it has plenty of coverage on google news. Mattg82 (talk) 00:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Rated by some as the best motorcycling circuit in the world, also features content about the birth of motor racing in Australia. Frankly this is a somewhat frivilous AfD. If Student7 has an issue with the content of this article, an AfD is not the way to handle it. Mark the sections you have a problem with SPAM or even ESSAY tags and raise the issue on Talk:Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, and or the relevant Wikiproject talk page. --Falcadore (talk) 00:36, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability is not an issue. The only advertising-grounds for deletion is if there's no usable content, which is clearly incorrect. --TeaDrinker (talk) 04:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep This one elicits a bit of a wtf from me. The circuit has hosted international top-level motorcycle races for a very long time, in addition to other major motoring events. The news coverage is long-lasting, both of the races that the circuit hosts but also of the circuit itself (eg ).--Mkativerata (talk) 06:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per all of the above and it looks like its starting to snow. Jenks24 (talk) 08:05, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. I further request that the nominator holds back on creating so many silly AfD's that waste people's time, I'd also request that the nominator reads the policies he quotes. Jeni  ( talk ) 10:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above? --Falcadore (talk) 11:05, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops ;-) Changed now! Thanks. Jeni  ( talk ) 11:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
