Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sudbury Downs and Slots
Two races nights per week makes a race track notable? I don't think so. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 17:51, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, since there isn't a claim to notability. If it's kept, move to Sudbury Downs, since that seems to be the name of the race track (I've no idea why the rest of the title exists). - Bobet 22:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge to Chelmsford, Ontario. -- JJay 23:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- A merge would be better than nothing, but still not quite appropriate; it's a regional attraction. Samaritan 07:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Does not meet WP:CORP, does not even claim notability. Delete. - brenneman(t)(c) 23:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Is there any guideline which would clarify the difference between a notable horse racing track and a non-notable one? Because I'm frankly not too clear on how this is inherently less notable than a lot of other horse racing tracks — granted, it's never hosted the Kentucky Derby, but if that were Wikipedia's baseline standard for inclusion of a racetrack, then Churchill Downs would be the only racetrack on here. Which it's not. What, then, is the baseline standard? How would I determine which of the 16 race tracks in Ontario (Clinton Raceway, Dresden Raceway, Flamboro Downs, Fort Erie Race Track, Georgian Downs, Grand River Raceway, Hanover Raceway, Hiawatha Horse Park, Kawartha Downs, Mohawk Racetrack, Rideau Carleton Raceway, Sudbury Downs, Western Fair Raceway, Windsor Raceway, Woodbine Racetrack and Woodstock Raceway) merit articles and which don't? The bottom line for me is, I see no reason whatsoever why they shouldn't all have articles, and no policy or guideline that says they can't, so I have to vote to keep & expand on this one. WP:CORP has nothing whatsoever to do with articles on sports venues. Bearcat 18:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, as above. Evil Eye 00:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- It's also the closest/only racetrack facility for an extremely large catchement area in Northern Ontario, and the closest/only casino gaming facility for a smaller but still very large area. If a tourist attraction draws regular bus groups from cities hours away, it is notable; Sudbury Downs does and is. Keep. Samaritan 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Bearcat. Snurks T C 07:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
