Aw Abadir Stadium

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

It's unclear whether construction of this planned stadium has actually started or this remains just a pipedream, but either way it's WP:TOOSOON as planned projects like this get cancelled frequently. In any case, the sources cited are not enough to establish notability, and a search finds nothing beyond the usual social media listings etc.; therefore fails WP:GNG / WP:NBUILD. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree WP:TOOSOON and WP:GNG fail. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:27, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG as it stands now. Possibly WP:TOOSOON but even that is hard to tell based on the sources in the article that point to a groundbreaking and/or start of construction in 2016. I can not locate any coverage that address further construction (or lack of construction) on this stadium.  I oppose moving to draft space as well as it is unclear what is going on with the stadium.  Please ping me if more recent WP:SIGCOV is found.  Frank   Anchor  15:12, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep the state owned media Fana Broadcasting Corporate states it will be completed soon likely end of 2015 (next year in Ethiopia) after interviewing the Harari Region president. . @User:Frank Anchor Magherbin (talk) 14:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That's still quite 'aspirational', if it's their intention to try to complete this next year. Even draftifying would a bit of a stretch, given the timescale. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:TOOSOON, there isn't enough coverage currently to pass WP:GNG. Even if the stadium is actually built, that doesn't meet that it will pass GNG anyway- we have deleted many football stadiums used by notable clubs in the last year. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:15, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Harar City F.C., not independently notable. GiantSnowman 20:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge Per GS, I really don't understand why the delete comments above haven't considered a merge! Govvy (talk) 08:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Because it's a stadium that doesn't actually exist, so not worth merging it in, as the club doesn't actually play there (and no evidence they ever will do). Joseph2302 (talk) 23:11, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Disagree - even if it's never built, a proposed stadium is certainly worth mentioning in the club article. GiantSnowman 21:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Contrary to what has been claimed, the stadium is near completion, yet the work has been stopped for years. The Aw Abadir Stadium, as it stands, is easily the largest building in Harar. As pointed out above, coverage exists. It is possible that the more centrally located Harar Imam Ahmed Stadium serves Harar City F.C. better at this time. Aw Abadir Stadium is located at the southeast end of town. gidonb (talk) 13:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Even if it is completed in 2023, that doesn't make it notable unless there are enough sources to pass WP:GNG. Also, not convinced Harar Imam Ahmed Stadium is notable either. Joseph2302</b> (talk) 10:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge with Harar City F.C. or just Harar It is a stub with very few sources. It fits better as a section in that article. Roostery123 (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
