This was created by an anon user as "Brands hatch" & tagged for speedy deletion by User:Ibaman. I moved it to correct the capitalisation of the title & removed the speedy tag. Now I'm listing it here as one is supposed to do when removing a speedy tag.
I think it is now a speedy keep. This is a well-known car & motorcycle racing venue, famous enough that I (Canadian & not hugely a fan of motorsports) recognise the name, so obviously a tourist draw.
Ibaman asked "Is this a proper article]] or just a farm of touty links?" He's right that some listings are touty & need cleanup. Pashley (talk) 14:35, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Some descriptions also appear to be copyright violations. e.g. that for Rising Sun Inn is taken word-for-word from the inn's website. Pashley (talk) 16:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Brands Hatch is a famous race track and hosting races as of today so it merits being included in Wikivoyage together with nearby restaurants and hotels. However per WIAA race tracks and other individual attractions don't get their own articles unless there is some exceptionally good reason. So maybe we should move the listings to Eynsford or rename this as an article for West Kingsdown, of course after the necessary detouting. --Ypsilon (talk) 15:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, keeping it as a redirect would be fine too. I considered suggesting that but did not see a good redirect target. Pashley (talk) 16:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Per w:Brands Hatch, it is a race track, but seemingly not a village, and I didn't see any listing in the Wikivoyage article that included some village of Brands Hatch in the address. Did I miss any? So yes to redirection to a listing for the track, but no to keeping this as a separate article. Also, I would suggest deleting every listing that includes the words "we" or "our" as presumably not only touting but copyright violation. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:40, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree redirect to the article which contains the listing for this racecourse is best. //shb (t | c | m) 22:21, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Eynsford. Brands Hatch is no longer such a major motor sports venue as it is nearly 40 years since it hosted the British Grand Prix, but is worth having as a listing. AlasdairW (talk) 23:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Eynsford per AlasdairW. Ground Zero (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Outcome: merged + redirected to Eynsford. //shb (t | c | m) 05:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
