List of arenas to host NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals in the same year

I think this is a classic example of indiscriminate collection of information. The fact that arenas hosted both NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals in the same year, while true, is not notable for inclusion in my opinion. — Chris!  c t 03:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete While there are references for each of the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup events, there are no references that speak specifically of the subject. The entire article is therefore based on WP:OR and WP:SYN. — X96lee15 (talk) 03:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete While being true, it really isn't that random if you think about it, being that NHL and NBA both hold their finals at the same time, so an arena would have to work double time to get it to work out. However, I agree with the nominator in the fact that it is indiscriminate and I would even add WP:SALAT to it for being to narrow of a topic. Tavix | Talk  04:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is non-notable trivia at best. I don't see the need to even mention this in any article as it would be deleted as trviai.  TJ   Spyke   04:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Nice bit of work by SNIyer12 but we don't need to become a record of poor coordination by sports officials. ~ Amory (talk) 05:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep I can see a list like this being useful to someone doing research into the indoor arena business, although the broadcaster details are probably excessive. And I'd much prefer a single article like this to multiple articles like Bulls–Blackhawks Finals series of 1992 ‎and Knicks–Rangers Finals series of 1994. Zagalejo^^^ 18:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Exported to Wikinfo / Comment I agree that the broadcasters and ratings, while interesting, are excessive and have been removed. Personally, I think it's interesting that venues host two championships at the same time, but can see where others may not. SigKauffman (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete what we need is a ref that talks about the significance of an arena hosting both in the same year. At the moment someone who doesn't know they take place around the same time, making the job of hosting both very hactic, will think "so what?". 80.6.13.211 (talk) 08:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Zagalejo. I think we should have single articles like those mentioned above. SNIyer12(talk), 01:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood what I said. I prefer a single article about all the concurrent NBA/NHL series to multiple articles about each year's events. Zagalejo^^^ 01:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
