500 Level

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. This is an unencyclopedic mess of an article about a rowdy section of the stands at the Rogers Centre. Half of it glorifies the fistfights therein and the other half is a list of long home runs. A merge was proposed, but frankly I'm not certain there's anything there worth keeping.  caknuck °  needs to be running more often  08:56, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as per WP:V. It's only claim to fame seems to be that people in the section disrupt the games with fistfights and by throwing things. There are no sources, and the references on the page are about a home run and the fan-caused delay, but they don't say anything about the Level 500 in question. One could argue it also violated WP:NEO, as "Level 500" seems to be a fan-made nickname for the seating area. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs —Preceding undated comment added 13:52, 24 February 2010 (UTC).
 * Comment: The name "500 Level" is not a nickname; it is named as a seating area for the ease of selling tickets in the Rogers Centre since 1989 (when it was called SkyDome) before there were any fans in the stadium. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 05:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Recommend Delete as notability has not been established for the topic, and it gives undue prominence to a specific seating tier. Isaac Lin (talk) 18:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well, there's an article about the Dawg Pound, but I see your point. Woogee (talk) 00:01, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I feel that some things in the article might be appropriate to add to the Rogers Centre article, but the sourcing would have to be better. I would change to merge if it was sourced properly but as it stands that's not the case. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 23:37, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. (Comment: Appears to be a ripoff article of the similarly-unsourced 700 Level. May even be a hoax.) --J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 19:10, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing important to salvage from this article to the Rogers Centre. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 23:20, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
