f1 2027 season
[edit]It wasn't experimental. I wanted to put more information on the 2027 Formula One page. Amini1999ad (talk) 12:29, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- I see. There's no need to keep a running total of seasons held per decade, and even to a reader in the distant future it would be obvious that the 2020s are the third decade of the 2000s, and that the 2000s are the 21st century. It doesn't contain any substantive information. 5225C (talk • contributions) 12:31, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- ok. please creat 2028 f1 season page.I want to know the information for the 2028 season now. Amini1999ad (talk) 12:34, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- There is already a process underway to have the 2027 article deleted as there is insufficient coverage to justify an article, and that would be even more true for a 2028 article. 5225C (talk • contributions) 12:37, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- What's wrong with creating an event page earlier? The FIFA World Cup 2034 page has already been made. Amini1999ad (talk) 12:41, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- There are standards of significant coverage that subjects must meet to have articles. Different subjects will meet this standard at different times. You might like to review Wikipedia's general notability guideline for more information. 5225C (talk • contributions) 12:44, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

DYK for McLaren MCL38
[edit]
On 9 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article McLaren MCL38, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the McLaren MCL38 Formula One car (example pictured) won McLaren their first World Constructors' Championship since 1998? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/McLaren MCL38. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, McLaren MCL38), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
