Cancelled event, only sources are the proposed schedule and sources to say it's cancelled. Usually notable events that are cancelled struggle to meet WP:GNG, and no way this event does Joseph2302 (talk) 17:40, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There has been a recent talk:page Requested merge of cancelled events discussion in regard to the cancelled 2020 Isle of Man TT and also the cancelled 2001 Isle of Man races. The consensus of the discussion was generally against a merge to the main article. There is also a further editor consensus that any general (historical) information may only be incorporated at the year page of other article/section as appropriate and not in the main Isle of Man TT article.

There was held instead a virtual 2020 Isle of Man TT races, although some editors may not consider incorporating these race results into the 2020 Isle of Man TT article as being encyclopaedic. However, information about the economic impact of cancellation of the 2020 event may be considered to pass WP:GNG which may be difficult to incoprate into the main Isle of Man TT article.

A virtual race is not notable, and there is nothing in this article to merge (other than saying it was cancelled). This is an AfD discussion, and shouldn't be muddied by the consensus of that merge discussion. This article shouldn't be kept if it doesn't pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, there is nothing to merge as the main article already has the line of useful content, that this race was cancelled. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a caution that a blanket statement that virtual races are not notable probably shouldn't be made. Some will be. Probably not this one though. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actual esports races may be notable, but virtual versions of events tend not to be in my experience. And definitely not here. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:36, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notable info (cancelled) is already in the main article. Lots of things have been cancelled this year and that does not make them notable. If the majority of completed events for Isle of Man TT do not get a stand alone, (and they don't per what links here) I can not see a WP:GNG path that would support keeping this article.

Delete per nom. There is already enough related content on Isle of Man TT article, therefore there is no need to merge. Accesscrawl (talk) 06:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
