This article is put together in a way that tells you nothing informative about it whatsoever. It is badly presented. The title 'Construction' only talks about Phase 2. The 'background' has very little to do with it. It would probably be more useful and constructive if this article was deleted and started from scratch. --06SmithG (talk) 17:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - agreed, the article isn't wonderful at present, largely copied with permission from a primary school's website about the centre, but there is enough useful content for the article to be worth keeping. The centre was a big project, and surely notable.  The Millennium Commission ref would be useful for improving the article. Someone somewhere has probably got archive material (in print) about the centre, from which a fuller article could be made. There must be stacks of coverage in local newspapers, some of which will be available online. Needs to be improved, not deleted. PamD (talk) 23:07, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * And I've found a couple of articles in BBC News and The Independent which I'll add as ELs for now. PamD (talk) 23:07, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - as PamD says it's not brilliant at the moment but it's notable. Mark it up with whatever cleanups are needed but deleting it is not the way to go, no matter how poorly written, if it meets notability criteria. NtheP (talk) 11:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
