Moved from User talk:Walter Görlitz

Walter Görlitz recently redirected my page creation ATCO Field to Spruce Meadows because it is not notable in its own right. I argue that it is as notable in its own right as any other football venue in a top division. Spruce Meadows is a notable venue, certainly, but ATCO Field has been given its own name and separate identity. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Event Venues/Sports task force/Notability, it is notable in its own right as it hosts a professional sports team. --Gri3720 (talk) 23:54, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What percentage of the article is unique to this article and what percentage is copied from or similar to content at Spruce Meadows? ATCO Field is a sponsorship deal. Until that sponsorship deal was struck, what was the name of the field? If you want to start a split discussion at the Spruce Meadows article, feel free to.

Walter Görlitz Quite a bit of the information on this page now is unique from Spruce Meadows. In fact, some of the information appeared first on the ATCO Field article and was copied onto Spruce Meadows, not vise-versa. Allow me to show you two photos for comparison. This is a photo of the equestrian facilities. As we can see ATCO Field is a distinct and sizeable sporting arena in its own right. These two pictures posted by Cavalry FC's supporter's group [1] [2] demonstrate that it is a distinct stadium hosting a fully-professional, top flight team.--Gri3720 (talk) 18:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still nothing saying it's unique from it, but enough to say that it merits its own article. The field will still be used for equestrian events for several weeks of the year. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:41, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
