WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The pastor (second-most viewed) averages 10 views a day for the last 6 years compared to the motorcyclist which averages ~100 views a day. Engr. Smitty Werben 03:15, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Sam Sailor 16:27, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Note: Jack Miller titles a page with significant content and so is ineligible to be a target "new" title unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 08:28, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Results by circuit

Not original research. Data straight from Races by year. Shows Jack's form for each circuit e.g. he does well in France, poorly in Italy and is improving in San Marino. B. Fairbairn (talk) 11:24, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

You haven't done it by circuit though, you've done it by Grand Prix. And it feels a lot like WP:CRUFT. Readro (talk) 14:07, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Readro Yep definitely a lot of Fancruft. @B. Fairbairn I still could consider your table original research because you're probably the only one who tabulated everything. For the race results per year, we have a reliable source for that ([23]), but for your "results by circuit" table, I couldn't find anything, so my best guess is that you checked all of his results and then made a table and listed his results won your own.
Could someone other than me boldly remove B. Fairbairn's table for now? Engr. Smitty Werben 17:29, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Readro - a bit off-topic, but seeing this reminded me of this newbie change, abstracting info and asserting that a works rider for multiple marques won as a wild card. I don't want you to wade through the copious editor-Talk, but this is the salient comment: On Motogp.com there is this page that has some statistics including the fact that he entered only one race in the 500cc Grand Prix championship in 1975, which he won. That should qualify him as being a wildcard.
I saw you (Readro) were back on-Wiki fairly recently after a long break and have found something in the house (early 1970s advert) relating to Nations Grand Prix. I lost it again but will still remember as and when I get the time! regds,--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
