List of events at The O2

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems more like a catagory - also may not meet WP:NN as it cites no sources - although I'm sure that a list of events could be found. Also WP:NOT may apply. Guest9999 23:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Sources can be cited. Although some of the events listed may not be noteable, there are noteable events listed both before and after the development of the Dome to The O2.  Some of the events received alot of publicity.  Tbo 157   talk  00:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Being a category isn't really an option as many of the events don't yet have articles; however many have been covered in at least the regional press.(Metro,London Lite,thelondonpaper).Alternately Merge the most significant events back to The O2. Paulbrock 01:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree, the events could all be merged into the relevant sectons of The O2 and Millennium Dome like in the article, Manchester Evening News Arena.  Tbo 157   talk  12:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete This is appropriate for the venue site, but not an encyclopedia.  It is pointless to document every concert/event that was hosted by every arena in the world, because WP is not a "resource for conducting business".  Also from WP:NOT, "an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, current schedules, etc.," Corpx 02:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Corpx is dead on here. The fact that a venue hosted a Beatles tribute night or a musical interpretation of "War of the Worlds" is by no means encyclopedic, it's just a collection of information.  Keep any truly noteworthy events (i.e., exclusive to that site and which received substantial coverage) in the main article, and then toss this. fuzzy510 04:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this is not a gig listing site. Lugnuts 04:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. per WP:NOT. Anything really worth mentioning at The O2 can be. Also, this would set a horrible precedent: how long would this article be in 50 years time? Seth Bresnett • (talk) 11:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete advert. WP is not the new Ticketmaster. --Oscarthecat 21:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see anything about selling tickets. Don't you mean its not an event listings site.  The article was originally a listing of noteable, exclusive events at the Millennium Dome but this some how turned into a listing for The O2.   Tbo 157   talk  22:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not withdrawing my nomination but just thinking about it I imagine that multiple secondary sources probably have discussed what's on at the O2, it being a large, very high profile venue that's been reported on near constantly since it's creation (as the Millenium dome. I still think hte content is not worthy of an articel but maybe WP:NN wasn't the best rationale for deletion. Guest9999 13:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)]]
 * Like I said before, I agree that events at The O2 are not very relevant and should be merged into the main article to prevent it becoming an event listing site. However I believe the events at the Millennium Dome, which was an exhibition space for exclusive millennium related exhibitions, were noteable and exclusive to that venue.  The O2 and Millennium Dome are 2 completely separate venues.  The only thing they share is the structure of the Dome.  Tbo 157   talk  15:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete An encyclopedia should use data selectively. By all means mention some notable events in the main article, but this is overkill. Brandon97 21:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
