Talk:Caesars Palace Grand Prix

message: I think this article should be merged with Vegas Grand Prix, since both articles cover a variety of racing categories. Thoughts? DH85868993 08:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Never - this article is about something happening this year, while the Formula 1 article is one that happened 25 years ago. It's just too big a difference. Zero76 11:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing when you write "this article" you actually mean Vegas Grand Prix. This is actually the talk page for [Las Vegas Grand Prix] - the "Merge" notices on both articles link here, so all the discussion can occur in one place. I'd probably agree with you if Las Vegas Grand Prix covered only the F1 race. But the results table includes results from many different categories, from as recently as 2005.

replies: text: I think that both articles should not be merged, but should instead only cover their respective racing series. The Vegas GP article gets too far off-topic. It would be okay to include a shorter section on the history of racing at the city. Royalbroil 04:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Suggest instead of merging, they are properly separated so one exclusively refers to the F1 event and the other to the American Open Wheel events. AlexJ 09:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd support that. What should we do with the CanAm and IMSA/ALMS results in this article - just ditch them altogether? DH85868993 10:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

text: From a British standpoint, I would say that approach is also used in North America. The 24 Hours of Daytona has switched between sports cars, Grand-Am and Prototypes during its existence. Also, the Detroit Indy Grand Prix has switched between the Renaissance Centre track and the Belle Isle track. In my opinion, the articles should be merged because they are the same event.

replies: text: There are not very many examples of naming the race after the city, I applaud Readro for finding any examples. I emphatically agree with point #2 - the track needs its own article. That article should address the many types of car raced at the track. As to the event, my opinion is that the events are from fundamentally different types of cars (F1 vs. IndyCar), and there is a significant number of years between the two events. The later event doesn't feel like a continuation of the earlier events. In my mind the cars raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona are a progression of cars based on the original sports car. My impression may be wrong, so feel free to call me on that. I do remember seeing separate articles for two races with the same name in both IndyCar and NASCAR. I think they were at the same track. I would add links if I could remember the situation. Royalbroil 16:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What about Long Beach Grand Prix? It has run continously, on the same track I believe, from 1975 to present for Formula 5000 (1975), Formula One (1976 - 1983), and CART/Champ Car from 1984 to present. The question there is was it known as the Long Beach Grand Prix between '76 and '83? It doesn't appear as such on the F1 calendar. Just batting examples around, trying to get a feel for what the 'rules' might be..... 4u1e 21:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There should be one article, with a better delineation between the different events to call themselves the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and, in turn, stating that the current event is called Vegas, without the Las, by CCWS. --Chr.K. 08:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Njsgdsza. Different sources refer to these races by different names; some (like formula1.com) call them "Las Vegas Grand Prix"; others call them "Caesars Palace Grand Prix". A discussion back in 2007 conluded that "Caesars Palace Grand Prix" was the most suitable name for English Wikipedia to use. DH85868993 (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
