~~WP:TOOSOON, one confirmed driver change is not enough to justify an article at this stage. Fecotank (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Keep: With Holden being retired by the end of 2020, I think it will be interesting to see how it will go with other teams, will they move to other manufacturers? Or will they withdraw from the series. Plus the possibility of Gen3 to be fast-tracked to 2021 to cater for Holden's retirement.Hiflex480 (talk) 11:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, in time there will be enough coverage to justify an article, but so far nothing has been announced. Fecotank (talk) 20:37, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Fails WP:SIGCOV. A Google search for "2021 Supercars Championship" -wikipedia.org brought up just over 100 results, and most appeared to be blogs, forums, and the like. There simply isn't enough evidence to suggest that this is already considered a notable event. However, previous races of this type most certainly are notable, so I believe it is simply a matter of time. I suggest keeping this as a draft until more reliable sources can be found to back up the information in the article as well as to establish notability. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 18:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article has since been improved. Retracting !vote. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 18:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is probably the best part as it's way too soon to see what the fallout of this is going to be with the removal of Holden. At best it's probably best to keep it as a draft but for now I would say delete it and create within six or seven months when we have more info. HawkAussie (talk) 05:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I was over sighted with my thought and if it wasn't for Holden removing themselves from 2021, then I would have gone the other way. For now I switch my vote to Keep. HawkAussie (talk) 05:30, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — GM's decision to end the Holden brand has significant implications for the championship. One Holden team has already announced that they will not enter Holdens in 2021 and the sport's management has indicated their willingness to bring forward major regulation changes in response to this.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Sources have been added since the beginning of the discussion. Do they present enough coverage, or is it still WP:TOOSOON?

Comment, I reckon with WAU no longer driving Commodores in 2021, it may start up a flow on effect, with other teams potentially switching manufacturers. This has also seen Gen3 being push forward to 2021, as what Sean Seamer, Supercars CEO, has said. But that being said, it's possible for Opel to return to Australia, meaning that some Commodores may be simply re-badged as Opels. I don't think it's WP:TOOSOON, but more of a watch and wait sort of thing. Because who knows who will jump from Holden next? Hiflex480 (talk) 03:46, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As the nominator, agree events have changed since the nomination. Have stuck my original comment and am changing my vote to a keep. Fecotank (talk) 03:40, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Mclarenfan17. - SchroCat (talk) 06:24, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Draft WP:TOOSOON. Lightburst (talk) 01:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep will get out of the way. WP:SKCRIT is met. Nomination withdrawn. Lightburst (talk) 22:28, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
