List of stadiums by turf type and List of FieldTurf installations

No one seems to agree on what exactly should be done with what was originally List of FieldTurf installations. This AfD in December reached the consensus to categorize. A few days later, after such was done, that category was listed at CfD, which reached the consensus to listify. We ultimately ended up with two conflicting opinions from the discussions, and two articles listing FieldTurf installations (one which mimics the appearance of a category, created after the consensus on CfD; the other which was the original, un-redirected after the CfD). I'm nominating these together. Hopefully we can decide whether to keep or delete this once and for all. I register no vote as yet. --Czj 08:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * PLEASE READ BEFORE DISCUSSING: This AfD is to decide the fate of both List of FieldTurf installations and List of stadiums by turf type, and the discussion is centralized here for ease of access and (hopefully) minimal confusion. Please specify your actions for each - for example: delete both, keep both, delete one and keep the other, etc. --Czj 08:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep List of FieldTurf installations, listifying seems to be very effective in its objective; Delete List of Stadiums by turf type, would be redundant and unnessesary. Neonblak 09:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete both and move contents to Category:Stadia with FieldTurf surfaces. Although it smacks of advertising I can see that the product is notable and a list of some sort could be useful.  Lists of these types are better suited to categorization. &mdash;Moondyne 09:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant, WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Terence Ong 13:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Terence Ong. If this is really the only thing they have in common and it's an unlikely user search starter, it's not got what it takes to become an effective Wikipedia list. Orderinchaos78 14:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep List of FieldTurf installations as a useful list but delete List of stadiums by turf type as a duplicate article. (In passing, this AfD could have been avoided by contesting the CfD on deletion review - it really was a close call with reasoned arguments on either side and it looked like a lack of consensus more than a clear-cut "delete" to me.)

 * Oh, someone did. See Deletion review/Log/2007 January 6.  Please don't send it back; make a clear and obvious decision, that is all I want!  GRBerry 18:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, should've thought that someone would do the needful on DRV. :S Flyingtoaster1337 13:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep both I hope this is how I voted last time. The former seems incomplete with only one field type. Merge. TonyTheTiger 18:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep List of FieldTurf installations; delete List of stadiums by turf type per Neonblak and Flyingtoaster1337 &mdash;Twigboy 21:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Both Okay here is my thoughts.  First I run the Michigan High School Stadium Site as such I have a lot of original research available.  Next I have links to a lot of the turf companies in the country.  I do have an opinion that not all turf is the same, each company makes slightly diffrent turf.  Some wear faster than others along with the way they are placed and what they use.  My thought process is that we could provide a page for each 20+ turf companies that lists all of thier installations.  Next we provide a link from the list of stadiums by turf to the individual company turf installation pages.  The listing on the list of stadiums by turf should only be colleges and professional stadiums.  Right now I would sign up to do this project but I am trying to finish out the Michigan Freeways and Highways.  Once that is fleshed out I can then concentrate on this if everybody here is willing to end this debate.  --Mihsfbstadium 14:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both. If this material is really encyclopedic, as some have tried to point out, the material can be merged into the parent article for the material. If kept, are we also saying it is OK to have lists of stadiums by type of real grass?  Or lists of stadiums by clay type? How about lists of stadiums by rodeo dirt composition?

 * uhm your recent post here does not seem you understand what is going on. First the majority of stadiums use either Grass or Artifical turf unless its tennis and that is not what we are talking about.  Second it seems to me you want to ridicule the lists that a lot of fellow wiki members put a ton of effort into.  --Mihsfbstadium 00:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
