Despereately needs more than blank tables

Are two sentences that do no more than establish the race exists all that can be managed for an inaugural international series on Day 2 of the event? --Falcadore (talk) 01:27, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately not many editors are interested, and I would help but the Formula E website seems unable to cope with the amount of traffic it is generating. Holdenman05 (talk) 01:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources are more important than primary sources as they indicate the notability of the series outside of its own sphere. Reliance on the official website is not a good idea. --Falcadore (talk) 01:39, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but official information is required at this point and the only information I can judge to be correct at the moment would be coming from the series' official website, the FIA website or teams' websites/social media. This why I kept undoing the additions of Charles Pic in the drivers' table - I wasn't sure how reliable the sources were. Holdenman05 (talk) 01:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Official information does not establish notability. THAT is what is required. Additionally as practice has begun, Charles Pic's presence in the series should become obvious. --Falcadore (talk) 01:56, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Once Pic was officially announced last night I let his inclusion and the source stay. Holdenman05 (talk) 03:07, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Still nothing to do with notability, the primary means of inclusion in wikipedia. In its current form this article would fail an AFD and be deleted because of the lack of notability. --Falcadore (talk) 04:09, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
