Wild Wales Challenge

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:PROD removed by article creator. A challenge ride just like all the others, fewer than 700 Google hits of which only around 80 are unique, creator couldn't find anywhere other than the ride's homepage to get detail about it and neither could I. Guy (Help!) 19:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It does appear on the Cyclosport website, which is an independent association. How many Google hits does a subject need to meet Wikipedia standards? I don't agree with the "just like all the others" argument either. You could say that about a lot of other Wikipedia entries - especially those of villages, mountains, A-roads, etc. Not notable each in their own right, no big claim to fame, so should they be got rid of just for that reason?

 * Comment. I am unsure about this one. There is indeed very little newscoverage, but there is a recent newsarticle which characterizes the ride as "famous":"AS THE racing season begins to draw to a close, interest begins to turn to long distance Challenge Rides. One of the most famous of these is the annual Wild Wales Challenge which starts and finishes in Bala, North Wales." Still, unless there is evidence of additional coverage, this probably does not pass WP:N, which is already fairly inclusive. Nsk92 (talk) 03:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
