Red Zinger Bicycle Classic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Apparenlty this race existed for 5 years and was then sold for $1 which seems to indicate it was less than successful. No media or independent coverage of note.

 * Keep - "No media or independent coverage of note"?? In my opinion and based on a simple search, there is enough in WP:RS to establish WP:GNG. You can see here that Velo News has an excerpt covering the race from the book "Team 7-Eleven." There is also a Denver Post article here which was syndicated to other locations including the Daily Camera here. We can also support content in the article from mentions in Pro Cycling News (Daily Pelton) here and Tour De France Life here. There are also four articles available in High Beam Research here which is a good investment if you want make claims about sources not existing. At the top of the AfD discussion, you can also click on the "books" link which is fairly easy to do. You will find sources in Google Books as well. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 16:47, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy close, speedy keep: The nominator was blocked as of 06:52, 21 June 2013 for sock puppetry per a discussion "Disruptive creation of groundless AFDs, probable sockpuppetry". Crtew (talk) 16:11, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:SK 2a The closer should keep in mind the large number of nominations made on a large, diverse set of articles that the nominator made on the same day.Crtew (talk) 05:32, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
