Your submission at Articles for creation: 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix (July 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tvx1 was:
A redirect already exists with this title in mainspace. WP:F1's convention is to develop such a redirect into a full article in the days leading up to the race. Contents from this draft can nevertheless be used for that purpose. Don't forget to provide proper attribution if content is re-used from here.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Live updates

Hi. Two clear examples proving, why adding something to the standings the race till the finish is wrong: 1. 2019 Spa-Francorchamps Formula 2 round was declared abandoned, so no one of the retired drivers was recognized as the retired by race officials. 2. According to live timing Dan Ticktum returned to the race. Please, familiarize yourself with WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Crystal guidelines. Cheers. Corvus tristis (talk) 09:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He was clearly shown as retired on the broadcast and I would make the same edit again in the same situation. "Unretiring" is something I have not observed before and I don't imagine it's common. Regardless, you did do the right thing reverting, and I should have rechecked before I restored my edit. Thanks.

It seems that you do not understand the main point. Even if Ticktum decided to retire completely, till the checkered flag, retirement is not an actual result in the standings, it is an assumption. We don't add assumptions as it clearly stated in the guidelines. Corvus tristis (talk) 09:47, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In a typical situation it wouldn't be an assumption though. Retirement is virtually always – with this being a significant and obvious exception – final. It's a commonsense call, but I'm not massively concerned and I'm not going to argue it with you. Thanks for your message and I will take more care in future.
