The Bandit Run

 * – (View AfD)

Non-notable event. No references, article created by apparent SPA, article is a complete mess. LaMenta3 05:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC) 
 * Delete Non-notable, original research, unreferenced, etc etc etc /Blaxthos 05:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Although there is obvious conflict of interest, these links: show that this event was featured on the Hot Rod Magazine, a popular car magazine in America. This gives them notability. However, the general article will need a significant rewrite.--Alasdair 06:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Go for it, and I'll take a second look to reconsider. LaMenta3 15:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - OR and just because it is featured in a car magazine, doesn't make it article worthy. NN. Spawn Man 01:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Spawn Man, besides, I dont think it can be easily wikified.--Sunny910910 (talk 02:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Hot Rod isnt just "a car magazine" it is the OLDEST STILL IN PUBLICATION. Hot Rod is a sponsor for this run. Its first year was 2007, so theres not huge press covering it yet, but the press who is matter. Perhaps the fact it was covered by The New York Times see here will be sufficient?

 * Strong keep. The NYT article definitely tips the scales toward notability here. Realkyhick 03:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If someone will properly integrate the sources into the article, notability and verifiability will have been established to my satisfaction. LaMenta3 14:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Alasdair, this does meet WP:NOTE in my opinion. Burntsauce 22:46, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
