Notability of Welfare memorial filed
A tag has been placed on Welfare memorial filed requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 17:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Your hangon rationale
You wrote, "But if you are not going to delete an article about Madsion Square Garden, than you certainly can't delete this artcile." Can you show me a source that says the Welfare Memorial Field hosts major events of the same importance as the Madison Square Garden? If you can't, then I'm sorry, but your comparison is unacceptable.

In other words, your comparison put the threshold of notability much higher than it actually is per Wikipedia policy. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 18:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
