Comment - I've added the AfD tag to all of the bundled articles and added relevant sort cats. No opinion on whether the articles should be deleted yet.

@
Spiderone: I believe nom is saying they will nominate those other articles based on the results of this AfD; they didn't intend to bundle them with this nomination.
Nordschleife 00, could you clarify? –

I agree that this does not appear to have been the nominator's intention, and have removed the AfD templates from the additional articles. --

Comment - I don't think it's a good idea to have so many articles (which are similar I suppose but looking through they are different enough to warrant individual consideration) in one nomination.
Six was already too many.

Keep. Has received a considerable amount of media exposure, which should satisfy the GNG, including a 2015 profile piece in the print Thairath[1] and 2017 coverage in Than Settakij[2], Post Today[3] and Ban Muang[4]. Featured in a
Channel 3 programme in 2018
[5]. Interviews in several sporting/auto racing lifestyle magazines/websites
[6][7][8]. --

Comment - All the drivers on the list are amateur drivers and have an article due to the fact of having participated in a race of an international championship of low relevance that in each race had more than one driver of this level (drivers who only stand out in championships such as the
Thailand Super Series). The fact that establishes that it is considered relevant for Wikipedia is having participated in an event, which depends more on the economic aspect (having enough money to participate in the event) than the talent itself, which must be established if an article is relevant in any sportman. There must be thousands and thousands of objectively more outstanding and talented drivers than those on this list but having not participated in a round of the
TCR International Series, they are not considered relevant.
I took a random articule (Pasarit Promsombat) from the list and in googled in Images. A total of 27 images appeared, of which the majority are from the participation in the 2017 TCR International Series Thailand round and, of these, only five are news and only one of them mentions the driver in the title. It is true that he is a Thai driver, but this shows he has no international relevance.
Maybe the problem is that the
WP: MOTORSPORT is very lazy. What do these articles contribute to Wikipedia? At some point this looks like a database and not an encyclopedia.
Answering the question above, my intention is that the listed items are evaluated in the same way as this one, because I consider that they are very similar. --

Keep - meets GNG per sources provided by Paul. No prejudice against any of the others being nominated for deletion in a separate AfD discussion
