The result was no consensus due to persistent lack of participation (discounting the creator of the article). No prejudice against speedy renomination. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 07:56, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Not seeing the kind of WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:NORG WP:NONPROFIT. Newspapers.com has (more?) matches for an Edmonton based org, but they are mostly passing. Eddie891 Talk Work 18:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
From the page WP:NORG, "The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams." The Motorcycle Roadracing Association is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit sports organization created solely for the common interest of the membership. The Edmonton based organization is irrelevant and has nothing to do with our club. If you're not finding WP:SIGCOV then please let me know how you are determining that since I can find copious references through google with "MRA Colorado motorcycle" as a search string. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjbbrewer (talk • contribs) 18:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
The MRA is covered at least bi-monthly in Roadracing World & Motorcycle Technology[1], which is a worldwide printed & online publication. Part of the main reason for creation of the MRA wikipedia page is to collect historical information and references about the organization which includes a number of former members who have received national championship recognition and others who have competed at the world level of motorcycle racing. I am still in the process of collecting that since much of it is from non-electronic (printed) sources. Also, there are other racing clubs with Wikipedia pages with almost identical objectives and membership that have existing pages. For example: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] So please let me know what I need to change for the MRA page so that it conforms to the guidelines that seemingly these other pages/organizations are conforming to. Thanks in advance! Jjbbrewer (talk) 19:07, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
I am continuing to add content and references to the MRA entry as I collect historical and referential data. I notice that this relisting occurred >7 days after the last discussion entry, so I'm hoping that is an indication of capitulation regarding deletion. As stated in the relisting guidelines, ".. having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors." That is an understatement as I am doing this for free for a not-for-profit organization. I will keep monitoring this so please, if you have any concerns, post them!

I'm still checking here and still looking for any discussions or comments. I have more content and external references that I'm currently working on. I sure hope we can close this discussion soon. Jjbbrewer (talk) 23:37, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
