Stake F1 Team results - who gets credit?[edit]

I've just updated {{F1cstat}} for the new season (i.e. adding RB Formula One Team and Stake). However, does anyone know if Stake's results will get credited to Sauber (and added to their pre-exisitng results from 1993-2018) or get credited to a seperate entity. As I am no expert I have created a fresh entry for Stake at this time (as I feel it would be easier to recify it this way rather than the other way around), but if anyone has a definte source confirming either way.... SSSB (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we won‘t know until the FIA starts crediting actual results. T v x1 00:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Tvx1, but given they've gone with Kick Sauber as their constructor title I suspect the results will go to Sauber. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 02:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. I was just double checking. I have likewise added Stake as a seperate entry on List of Formula One constructors#Constructors for the 2024 season (again, on the basis that it will be easier to merge than split). Yes, this is WP:OR, but is WP:OR either way. SSSB (talk) 09:50, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. 2006-2010 BMW Sauber results weren’t credited to them either. T v x1 15:09, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move at Talk:Surtees#Requested move 4 February 2024[edit]

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Surtees#Requested move 4 February 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1973 Brazilian Grand Prix[edit]

I have just uploaded to Commons this old newsreel (starts at 1:10) from the Brazilian government, with a segment on the 1973 Brazilian Grand Prix. I'd like to invite anyone to crop any interesting image for use at Wikipedia! Erick Soares3 (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the visibility of the (key) for F1 races.[edit]

I noticed that many F1 pages use a template for the key of races for example {{F1 driver results legend 8}}. The way it's often used is a simple link to the template page, requiring the reader to navigate away from the page to understand the key. Would there be some consensus to change these to a collapsible table like I have done here: special:diff/1220858948? Pabsoluterince (talk) 11:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Max Verstappen[edit]

Why list of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Max Verstappen still require administrator access? Eurohunter (talk) 14:36, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because people kept creating the article in spite of the deletion discussion, so it was WP:SALTed indefinitely. SSSB (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SSSB: There is no reason to not create it now. Eurohunter (talk) 16:11, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is. There is nothing to suggest that the previous deletion discussion (and WP:CSD#G4) wouldn't apply to a re-created article. SSSB (talk) 16:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SSSB: Of course there is. From what I see, list was unfinished at the time of deletion and Verstappen was then 16th with 21 wins, now he is 3rd with 58 wins ahead of Vettel, Prost and Senna. There is only Schumacher and Hamilton above him. Eurohunter (talk) 16:32, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant - the article wasn't deleted because Verstappen didn't have enough wins. SSSB (talk) 16:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is. The subject still doesn’t meer our notability guidelines.T v x1 01:08, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tvx1: So what about Vettel, Prost, Senna or Manuel Fangio? Eurohunter (talk) 11:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't pinged but I will contribute an answer regardless. Firstly, This is an WP:OTHERSTUFF arguement. I could also easily spin this around - a consensus was made to delete the list of Verstappen's list (and many others), this consensus can be extended to the similar lists for Vettel, Prost, Senna, Fangio and Hamilton. They should be deleted too. Since my WP:OTHERSTUFF arguement is based on actual consensus amoungst editor, not an editor creating lists by themselves, my position is much stronger. Secondly, I would say that the lists for Vettel, Prost, Senna, Fangio and Hamilton don't meet the notability criteria either, I just can't be bothered to nominate for deletion and have a long, strung out debate. SSSB (talk) 11:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Most of the lists of wins don't even link to anywhere except back to the main subject. Someone (not me, I'm not that daft) nominate the lot for deletion, but good luck to anyone digging themselves into those holes. Halmyre (talk) 15:06, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the other ones. These should actually be deleted. We actually did end up nomating a bunch of this type of articles a while ago and they were deleted. T v x1 15:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
