GSU Soccer Complex (Grambling State)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Was redirected to Grambling State Tigers for failing WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD; non-notable university football pitch with no significant coverage whatsoever outside of primary sources.

I had left an explanation, on the creator's talk page, of the reasons why I felt the article should be redirected and also suggested that the content could be merged into the parent article if absolutely necessary.

My redirect was reverted without explanation so I'm taking it to AfD to establish consensus as to whether this does warrant an article. In my view and in my experience, a football stadium is not exempt from notability guidelines. I would not oppose either a restoring of the redirect or a merge (as a last resort) of the sentences into the parent article, which is currently very small anyway.

I reverted it only because I believe it offers differentiation between itself and GSU Soccer Complex -Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk) 13:18, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy Close Nominator has only proposed a merge, not outright deletion. This should be discussed on the article talk page, not AfD. Smartyllama (talk) 13:36, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, as per my nom, I would only consider merge as a last resort. Deletion is preferred. Redirect itself is debatable as it could be argued that this isn't a plausible search term. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:06, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have edited the last part of my nom to clarify this a bit more as an AfD and not a requested merge now, thanks Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:18, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
