Not independently notable of the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix article or the 2023 FIA Formula 2 Championship or 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship articles. WP:BEFORE search suggests neither article currently meets the WP:GNG either. Suggest merging any usable sourced content into relevant parts of the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, 2023 FIA Formula 2 Championship, 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship, or 2023 Emilia-Romagna floods articles. I am unsure where it would be best for either of these page titles to be redirected to. I am also nominating the following related page:

As the one who expanded the pages (from their original redirect forms), I think it would be better to just merge them with the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix article itself. Admittedly, the articles just tell the same story as their parent F1 event, save for some sentences; although once merged, I think it should be noted in the 2023 ERGP article that it was the paddock used by F2 and F3 which suffered the brunt of the floods in Imola. I just thought there was a need to expand those articles from their original redirect forms because they were cancelled, and it is rare to cancel such events in motorsport due to a natural disaster or a force majeure (with the pandemic being the only other instance I could think of; they rarely cancel events due to heavy rain).

Now matter how rare, subjects still need to meet our notability standards to justify a standalone article. In this case there is no significant independent coverage for these events.T v x1 15:15, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I honestly figured that out after writing it, and found it lacking any detail that separates it from the main event (the Grand Prix) itself. I would still go for the first suggestion, which is to merge it with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix article, as it would be better covered there than the F2 and F3 calendar changes sections.

Redirect to 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship#Calendar changes and 2023 Formula 2 Championship#Calendar changes where the relevant details are given, including links to the flood article (2023 Emilia-Romagna floods). Alternatively mention could be added to 2023 Emilia-Romagna floods#Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and they could be redirected there. A7V2 (talk) 07:03, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was just about to reinstate this redirects, but now that this procedure has been initiated, I say delete. No independent notability through dedicated significant coverage of the Formula 2 and 3 events.T v x1 15:15, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per A7V2 or Merge with 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, though I'd ultimately go with Merge, since the F2 and F3 races are, along with the F1 race, also affected by the flood in the area. Hansen Sebastian^Talk 16:12, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But what is there to be merged? There’s nothing really in these articles that’s not already there in the target article.T v x1 23:54, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Everything. From the preparations, to the background, standings, and eventual cancellation. Hansen Sebastian^Talk 11:53, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which is all already there in the target article. And the F2 and F3 standings have no place in the F1 article.T v x1 02:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Might as well change to Redirect for now. Hansen Sebastian^Talk 04:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect both the F2 and F3 articles to 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Patient Zero^talk 17:00, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
