[edit] Montauk We Hope

Non-notable bike race, no sources, nothing at Google news, only 32 Google hits, and a large number of those hits appear to be just the string of characters "Montauk We Hope" in a list of SEO keywords. Seems more like an advertising gimmick for Tritec Real Estate Co. Corvus cornix 21:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, WjBscribe 23:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable bike ride/fundraiser. Big chunks of the article are a copyvio from [1]. Total ridership appears to be in the ~300 range, certainly not notable unless there has been a disproportionate amount of media coverage. bikeable (talk) 00:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Maybe a COI, sounds like an advert and NN. Possible OR too... Spawn Man 04:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as not notable. Verifiably untrue summary statement, this is a small ride. I'll get the cites. Bearian 21:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

The Hudson Ride is the fastest growing bike ride [2] and the Bike New York (a/k/a 5 Boro Bike Ride) [3] is much larger than the Montauk We Hope with 1,200 rides every year. Even the AIDS Ride is bigger than this and growing faster. [4]. This is just plain wrong, and should be stricken from WP. Bearian 22:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I have added verify and hoax tags to the article. Bearian 22:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
