Advertising. The article claims the team has 25 years experience in F1. In fact, the team founders have worked for Team Lotus in the 1980s and Litespeed F3 was founded only in 2007, running occasionally in the secondary class of the British F3 Championship's current season. No significant body of results yet. Speedy delete was refused. Pc13 (talk) 08:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

:: In light of the existence of sources, I withdraw the nomination. --Pc13 (talk) 17:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep & Rewrite I think the fact they have competed in a British Formula Three Championship is enough to qualify for Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I do think, however, that the article should be rewritten and have it's fact verified. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 10:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - The topic is notable per what Phill as said, plus there are a few reliable sources out there to put together a good article. Just a few: [http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/65024 Autosport.com], [http://www.crash.net/motorsport/f3/news/164442-0/litespeed_picks_macleod_for_bow.html Crash.net], [http://www.dctc.org.uk/index.php?contentId=292 DCTC (charity website about the team helping them)], http://www.britishf3international.com/news.php?action=showArticle¶ms[id]=670 British F3 article. There's enough sources to get a article to satisfy standards here IMO. D.M.N. (talk) 11:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I agree with the nominator that the team needs some notable results or some significance in a national level championship before they qualify for notability. Being a car constructor might give them some, but I still think they need a bit more. The359 (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable as a team in a major national/world-class championship series. I argue that all teams at this level are inherently notable, even with just one start. D.M.N. has indicated reliable sources that need to be used to source the article. It does need cleanup with tone and non-encyclopedic content issues at this time, but that's no reason to delete.

  • Keep and rewrite. Team has notability but article should be rewritten. Readro (talk) 17:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and reference. DMN has demonstrated that the team has received 'significant' coverage in multiple reliable source, which should satisfy the notability criteria. It does however need the "press release" language removed and for all facts to be checked and cited/removed as appropriate. AlexJ (talk) 18:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
