List of A Championship stadiums

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list of third-level amateur football stadia which lacks any kind of notability. Also happens to be unmaintained and unreferenced. Cloudz 679 14:30, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - not a notable list. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:32, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a list of stadia with Wikipedia articles, and has a very clear inclusion criterion in title itself. None of the "delete" opinions above amount to anything more than "just not notable", which is pretty much par for the course when the WikiProject Football groupthinkers are involved in a deletion discussion.

 * Comment - except it isn't, and it isn't. So what if an amateur football match was played there. There are no references, even the league page has no citations regarding the location of these matches. The Irish league is not fully professional and this level was for mainly reserve teams of amateur teams. Furthermore, this is a useless content fork from A Championship, a defunct league for mainly reserve teams of amateur teams that played for four seasons. I would say that is a strong indicator that the topic does not warrant inclusion. In case you aren't familiar with WP:LISTCRUFT, among other points: The content is unverifiable or the underlying concept is non-notable, you wouldn't expect to find such a topic in an encyclopaedia.

 * Is one of your "it isn'ts" directed at the first statement that I made? This very clearly is a list of stadia with Wikipedia articles, as can be seen by following the blue links. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - Phil Bridger has a good point. To elaborate my vote; this list topic has not been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, and fails WP:LISTN. What is in the article can easily be moved into the parent article, A Championship. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:05, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - (or Merge) Per Mentoz86 and others above.  No independent sources treat this list as a notable topic unto itself.  The A Championship article is small and is a perfect home for the information in this list article. --Noleander (talk) 10:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment to address the only point raised in this discussion for keeping the article, that it links stadia which have articles, we already have List of Republic of Ireland football (soccer) stadiums. There is no valid rationale for keeping this article here. Cloudz 679 21:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge The article is unreferenced and there is no indication why such a collection of third-level Irish league venues is notable. I would say delete unless appropriate references can be found in which case those facts could be added to the parent article. Eldumpo (talk) 18:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 *  Keep and Merge  I don't know about the rest of you people, but I'd say keep the information and merge it into a new article. One that incorporates all the stadiums of Ireland top Irish clubs like we have for English league. Govvy (talk) 19:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment not sure what you are proposing to merge, since the List of association football stadiums in the Republic of Ireland already lists stadia, clubs and capacities of football stadiums in ROI. Cloudz 679 20:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete then Doesn't find that last time, changing my vote then, There is also List of stadiums in Ireland by capacity hmm. Govvy (talk) 12:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
