Was previously prodded with the reason "unreferenced. google turns up little in the way of sources." Since it's not unthinkable for such sources to be in paper sources or even in Arabic, I don't relying on a simple google search makes it an uncontroversial deletion suitable for a PROD. If sources truly cannot be found, it should be deleted, but just a google search is not enough for this particular topic. Mgm|(talk) 22:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unverifiable. Yes, there may be sources in Arabic, but motorsports have an ardent global following and one would expect to find some hint of sourcing in English or discussion in motorsport forums and blogs. I can find none. Searching for the article title yields nothing. According to the article, the official name of the race is "Ashraf vs. Hamawi" which also turns up no joy. The race was supposedly held at a track named "Al Bateen" but I cannot even verify the existence of such a motorsport track / speedway / drag strip. -- Whpq (talk) 21:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Delete This looks like a joke. Two guys raced their cars and then wrote a WP article about it. Borock (talk) 02:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
