 * Keep per WP:NEXIST. The nomination is understandable since the 12 year old three-sentence stub does not present a specific factual basis for this Memphis theater's notability, but source searches strongly suggest that it was, in fact, a notable building.  See e.g. books that describe it as "a combination athletic arena, concert hall, convention center, and retail produce market"  and as "the primary venue for large attractions both theatrical and arena."  The website historic-memphis.com has a detailed page about the building's history.  That website appears to be treated as a reliable source in other Memphis articles, but even if it is not, the facts detailed there could presumably be verified by someone with time and sufficient access to newspaper archives and other sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. as a major venue. We normally keep such articles. It can be difficult to separate the sourcing from that on events, but its normally available.  DGG ( talk ) 16:31, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep yet again you made this AfD nomination within a minute of making another AfD nomination, which really suggests you aren't doing anything with WP:BEFORE. Sources are immediately found with a simple search, and it appears to pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  05:48, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. "Has no sources" is not a valid reason for deletion.  Take a minute and find sources, instead.  Don't waste our time, thanks. --Doncram (talk) 05:56, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
