This might have been deleted in 2007, but since then according to an article in R/C Car Action, it described the car as a unexpected success, meaning that it is likely to pass notability criteria. So rather than create an article from scratch, I assume that it is better to bring this back. Donnie Park (talk) 02:24, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

XRAY Model Racing Cars – Only two other editors have commented, and none of them advocates overturning the "delete" outcome, so that outcome is maintained in the absence of a consensus to overturn it. There is also no consensus about whether the new sources proposed here are reliable, so any recreation should be preceded by further discussion. – Sandstein 10:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting I see no 3rd party sources to prove notability. So the question is did this editor do any research before considering this which I am doubtful they have. For a start, it won its second world championship title a month ago amongst other supporting links
[1][2][3]. So my rationale is that like a good number of pro-competition brand, also that it has its successes to help notability criteria. Any other articles to claim notability can be found here. Donnie Park (talk) 02:24, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - redrc.com doesn't give any indication I can find of who its writers/editors are, so it's unclear whether it should be regarded as a reliable source. liverc.com does somewhat better here. I think there's room for userfication if someone wants to fix it, but the original close can't be faulted - not sources, stacks of external links, a problem. WilyD09:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The role of redrc.com, as it seems, is that they are more like the R/C racing's equivalent to Twitch.tv but much smaller. I tend to use them as reliable source since I don't buy R/C magazines and the sport does not get any serious news coverages out there, plus its the only way I rely on for racing news is this and RedRC.com and neobuggy.com as they are the other best bet out there for updated news. If not, the next best bet is Radio-Controlled Car Action's blog page, if not their hard copy magazine which isn't that easy to get hold of at where I live or any other hard copy publications, which shouldn't be difficult as they are like I said, a double WC winning brand. If that fails, then hobby shops would be the next best bet. Also, I thought news publications do not always credit its journalists. Donnie Park (talk) 17:54, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I read it like re-creation with those references wouldn't be G4-deleteable, but if they're not enough to meet WP:N, then it's perhaps not worth the effort of re-creation, AfD, deletion. Of course, I'm not familiar with the area, so I'm not positive about the value of the sources. But "Do they credit the author?" and "Do they name their editor?" are two questions, which if answered yes, go a long way to making me think a source is useful to showing notability. That's just like, my opinion, though. WilyD11:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
