Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser Sullivan

Too similar to existing article Dale Coyne Racing. The DCR organization fields two full-time entries to the IndyCar Series, only one of which is entered under the "DCR with Vasser-Sullivan" banner. Delete for redundancy. Article's creator is also under a COI block. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the article doesn't even explain what it is. Szzuk (talk) 21:05, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, primarily advitorial content still. As the nominator stated, primarily a duplicated topic. John from Idegon (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that the page is different than the DCR team page, especially after ridding it of some info more fit for the DCR page. It explains the history of 2018 partners (KVHS info) and other team background fans can't find on the DCR page. I didn't know about the Red Bull GRC connections.. That information would never be relevant when just tacked onto the DCR page as GhostOfDanGurney has proposed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SocalRacer (talk • contribs) 22:57, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment @SocalRacer: If you can find precedent for a co-entrant on a single car of a multi-car team warranting a duplicate article, I'm all ears. As it is, all sources point to Vasser and Sullivan being no more than a glorified sponsor for Bourdais. Not the 19 car, not the Indy one-offs, just Bourdais. No merger of teams and equipment took place, as they had sold their stuff all to Juncos Racing before the '17 500. Nothing is stopping them from moving on to Ganassi next year except maybe a multi-year contract. The history of Vasser and Sullivan can be found on the KVSH page.
