Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of marathon races
I agree with the nominator. The list is too broad to be informative. My experience with this is List of half marathon races where the notability criteria referenced at the top of that article has not prevented race organizers from listing non-notable local races in an apparent attempt to gain exposure for their events. I monitor the page and periodically go through the list to remove those that do not meet the criteria, but I seem to be the only one who attempts to maintain it. It does take a fair amount of time since I feel the burden has been placed on me with every new addition to find an official website and try to determine how long the event has been in existence, how many entrants are in it, and whether or not it includes an elite field (see ). I don't intend to maintain List of marathon races and there is no reasonable expectation that other Wikipedians will do so either. I'm abstaining because I think it could be maintained if trimmed to include only those races that have Wikipedia articles
