Hi. I am currently working on getting the 2010 Korean Grand Prix to FA. I understand from the WP:MOTORSPORT library that you have a wide variety of motorsport books covering individual seasons of Formula One and I was wondering if you had the Autocourse Annual for 2010 and from the Official Formula 1 Season Review book from the same year. I would specifically like to know where there is any further information that I am missing that would help corroborate or extend the article that I am working on.

I understand. Please let me know when you have access to the books. Z105space (talk) 09:33, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
In answer to your question, Noda is less significant as his entire F1 career consisted of 3 retirements for Larrousse. This does not make him notable in any respect. Not for Larrousse, not for the LH94 nor in F1. Alliot & Dalmas both had lengthy F1 careers and drove regularly for the team. (Alliot over 100 GPs, 60+ for Larrousse) (Dalmas approx 50, about half of them for Larrousse) This makes them notable in F1 and for Larrousse but not, perhaps, for the LH94. But it still makes them notable drivers who drove this car, however briefly. Your edit also restored Deletraz as a notable driver which no-one would agree with, as well as restoring the drivers’ Nos. to the infobox which some pages seem to have but the great majority (correctly I believe) do not. Would also mention that the page & infobox were created/edited by the IP editor who has had 3 blocks for disruptive editing over the past couple of months.

Thanks for your considered reponse. IIRC (although I may be wrong on this, it's been a while and I don't edit much any more) the fact that the field is entitled "notable" is because the F1 car infobox was merged into the more general racing car infobox, which could include cars like Ford GT40, Dallara GP2/11 etc. which have had too many drivers to list in a single infobox to be practical. By contrast, even the longest-serving of F1 cars will not have more than a handful of drivers (excepting perhaps private entries, which does not apply in this case). I would therefore argue that all drivers of a car in the works team are sufficiently notable to remain in the infobox, as attempts to decide who is and who is not notable enough will invariably be subjective (as our difference of opinion proves) unless consistent criteria are set. Perhaps this is an issue to take to

WP:F1? I have re-removed the car numbers. I don't understand what you mean by IP editor, as the article doesn't seem to have been edited by any anonymous users - please could you elaborate? Thanks,—Midgrid(talk) 00:12, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

No problem. Are you Midgrid from F1 Rejects BTW? Anyways, yes it is always subjective and there was a (fairly) recent discussion on the project page about it I think, but I don't recall the outcome. (I admit I didn't keep up with it). I believe Lotterer and Stevens were recently removed from the Caterham F1 page arguing lack of notability. And one editor used the summary (precised) "It's notable drivers, not all drivers". But yes raise it at WT:F1 by all means. Re. IP editor I was under the impression that this was another of his plethora of car articles thrown at Wiki recently but I see now that it's of longer standing than that. Eagleash (talk) 00:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's me! Thanks for the information; I will go through the WT:F1 archive when I have some free time and see if I can find anything relevant. In the meantime, please feel free to revert my reversion. :P —Midgrid(talk) 16:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
