Donkerelaan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I proposed this for deletion with the following reasons:

"Where to start?

The name of the ground is "Donkerelaan", not "Donkere Laan" "The first and to date only recorded match?" Many matches have been played here, as it is the grounds of CC Bloemendaal, a Dutch 2nd division ("Hoofdklasse") team (the club in total has some 200 members). It is basically a lawn with on one side a smallish (but nice) pavillion, and no stands. At best this should be a redirect to the club, but since that doesn't have an article, there is no reason to have a separate article for the grounds."

The article has been moved, the other three reasons are still as valid as when it was proposed. This is not some cricket ground "established in 2003" with "only one recorded match".

Basically, a non notable cricket ground where much of the information in the article is incorrect. The second part can be corrected, the first part can't. Fram (talk) 08:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment A redirect to List of women's One Day International cricket grounds would be the obvious solution, if sources are not found.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:53, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Not really. Redirecting something which has a common function (grounds of cricket team Bloemendaal) to a list about something that happened once and got little attention (the ground being used for that game) seems like a redirect version of WP:UNDUE. Fram (talk) 10:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a plausible search-term. And if it has a common function, that would suggest more info could be found to infact keep the article.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 10:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of cricket grounds in the Netherlands, unless sources can be added which support notability. Pam  D  12:14, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a much more logical merge target, thanks. (That page needs work as well, e.g. Sportpark Het Schootsveld doesn't have stands, never mind a 15,000 capacity, but that's not important for this AfD). Fram (talk) 12:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of cricket grounds in the Netherlands. The writeup of the article is as long as the notes in the table. gidonb (talk) 23:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested. Bearian (talk) 17:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
