In a month or two you'll have the verified track time to add.
But as a hint, in an area which isn't exactly new - manufacturers have been releasing new cars for a century, some faster than others, have been releasing press releases ever since, too, especially for supercars/ etc., on a list that has been updated for years (and this is one of my first edits on the topic, so I'm hardly claiming ownership)...
the fact that you have to add another column that completely defies the "real world" measurements of every other vehicle there in order to get their fandom vehicle in should be indicative that it was a stretch.
Here's an example:
"List of fastest 100m races" lists the top 20 verified 100m times in history.
Along comes an athlete's team and they release a press release saying "Based on our simulations, we predict he will run 9.45s in this race in a few months time" and, rather than do nothing with it, editors fall over each other to add a new column to the list, so it now has "verified times", "independent times", and "team projected times" and based on that states that Athlete is now the third fastest 100m runner in the world.
Instead of, as you say, waiting for that event to verify (or prove false) that claim.
But yet, to witness sibling posts, my perspective is "wrong".
I think there's no real reason (to use an old example) of why every Pokemon needs its own page, while other more worthy topics get deleted.
But overall? I'm an inclusionist, if there's a consistency. Instead, the practical application is "included if it gels well with certain fads or obsessions, but more more critically considered if not".
Out of curiosity, though, I went back. Over a thousand edits to WP and of those, 12 on "Articles for Deletion". Of those I voted keep on 2, delete on 10.
Of those ten, five were Biographies of Living People, and three were Original Research - including "List of Problems Solved by MacGyver", "Suggested Reading Order for Discworld Novels", and "Star Trek Vessels by Size". The other two were "WP: Admins Willing To Make Difficult Blocks" and a sub-user page from a now disgraced admin that he used to collect "evidence" on users he disliked.
Using a stats tool I can see that on other edits my ratio of "Content Created to Content Removed" is 28.37:1. So I think I'm doing okay there, too.
