The "criticism" components of the parent NASCAR article had become dominant in that text. This varies quite a bit from the other professional league and sanctioning body articles. The issues raised there certainly bare documenting, but seemed to detract from what should be the NASCAR-focus of that article. I've created this NASCAR Criticism article to address that, and moved those sections here. - Thaimoss (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the section that deals with how bloody boring it is? Comradeash (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a candidate for deletion

Note sure why Sawblade05 has tagged this page for deletion, but I do not think deletion is appropriate. I created this specific article by extracting these sections (in their entirety) from the NASCAR article, of which the "criticism of NASCAR" section had grown too large. The topics covered here are relevant, and value-added. My intention for moving them here was to consolidate this section, and tighten up the main NASCAR article. I see no reason, in the Reasons for deletion (included here for convenience):

Shortcut

WP:DEL#REASON

Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following:

Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising related subject)
Content not suitable for an encyclopedia
Copyright infringement
Hoax articles (but not articles describing a notable hoax)
Images that are unused, obsolete, violate fair-use policy, or are unencyclopedic
Inappropriate user pages
Inflammatory redirects
Article information that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources
All attempts to find reliable sources in which article information can be verified have failed
Articles about newly-coined words or terms (i.e. neologisms) not supported by reliable sources.
Overcategorization
Patent nonsense or gibberish
Redundant templates
Subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)
Vandalism that is not correctable

In no way do I think the content in this excerpted sub-topic article should be deleted - Thaimoss (talk) 00:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

News articles that might fit here

The following articles relate the beginning of what might be a long running suit or series of suits alleging racial and sexual harassment within the NASCAR organization. I include them here for consideration; perhaps at a later date (couple of years maybe) when the entire thing comes to completion, a paragraph might be suitable for inclusion here.

Is it safe?

Not to knock NASCAR for being slow to adopt, but if you're going to, it needs some perspective. Since Fireball was killed in '64, when did fuel cells become mandatory? Kill switches? TREKphiler 22:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
