It just explains an acronym of which is made an extensive use in racing and motorsport, just like Did Not Finish. --Lucaxvi (talk) 18:57, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The page simply defines an acronym and does not have any references. If the page were to have some sources to back it up maybe it would be worth keeping. Meatsgains (talk) 19:33, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Glossary of motorsport terms#D or delete. Admittedly, did not start is a difficult term to search for, as it is a common phrase. But I was unable to find more than dictionary definitions. It is a reasonable search term, so a redirect to Glossary of motorsport terms#D (where the term is already present) seems warranted. One objection to that may be that the term is used in other forms of racing, too, but it would at least give readers a definition and the associated DNS acronym. --Mark viking (talk) 20:09, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect Per Mark viking - plausible search term but too narrow of a definition to constitute an article. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 19:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
