Yellow-line rule

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This feels like it's a WP:CFORK of NASCAR rules and regulations, especially after the recent edit also expanded it to road course track limits. FMecha (to talk&#124;to see log) 13:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge into NASCAR rules and regulations - Content fork with a side-order of WP:CRUFT. - "Ghost of  Dan Gurney"  15:35, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merging the page would basically redirecting it back to that page, ergo back to status quo before the nominated page was created. FMecha (to talk&#124;to see log) 14:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep seems to be an appropriate WP:SPINOFF of NASCAR rules and regulations adding useful and sourced content regarding this particular rule’s history and controversy specifically related to this rule.  Frank   Anchor  01:03, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge relevant content into NASCAR rules and regulations, potentially separate the list of controversies into a new article, like Track limit rule controversies in NASCAR.  ~XyNq tc 17:43, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Just clarifying, the "controversies" section is the CRUFT that I was referring to. I'm not opposed to using some examples in prose, but (to me at least) it reads like a trivia section. - "Ghost of  Dan Gurney"  13:39, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The "controversies" section offers useful descriptions of the historic application of this rule. Though it could be narrowed down to cases in which the application of the rule directly affected who won the race.  Doing so would satisfy the WP:TRIVIA guideline of "a selectively populated list with a relatively narrow theme is not necessarily trivia, and can be the best way to present some types of information."
