List of sports venues named after individuals
Major listcruft; we already have a List of stadiums and a List of indoor arenas - Brianyoumans 04:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I would disagree that this counts as listcruft at all, certainly not "major listcruft". fuzzy510 05:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, perhaps not major listcruft, but how about "Not necessary; I can't see any benefit in having a separate list for venues named for individuals, it is just one more list to maintain? This is just a combined subset of the two lists I mention. --Brianyoumans 06:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not all stadiums are named after individuals, in fact most stadiums these days sell naming rights to corporations. I don't consider this listcruft. BryanG(talk) 05:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I'd disagree with this being Listcruft. It is getting rarer and rarer to find arenas/stadiums/venues that are not named after companies, so I think this list will become more and more relevent. That said, I'd have no objections to a merge of somekind. Th ε Halo Θ 11:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Definitely not cruft, especially in the days of naming rights. SliceNYC 20:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - If named after an individual, it is important to that individual and might help establish notability of said individual. If named after a company, serves as significant use of that company's name and serves to establish the possible notability of the company.  Badbilltucker 13:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep As said by others, this is an interesting and worthwhile list in the days when not corporately named stadiums are becoming fewer and fewer. Vickser 16:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please this is useful not major listcruft really Yuckfoo 17:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
