Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of stadiums in Hyderabad


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Sports in Hyderabad. Although only one participant suggested this merge (and then as a second !vote which technically I should ignore) I think from the comments of participants that this would be an acceptable compromise to all. SpinningSpark 19:27, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

List of stadiums in Hyderabad

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence that this requires a stand-alone list. Hyderabad is just a city in India and this is adequately covered in List of stadiums in India. See WP:LISTCRUFT; this is only likely to be of interest to a small number of people. Spiderone 20:11, 12 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep there's a lot of stadiums in India; this seems like a reasonable split. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:20, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't see why so much detail is needed. The amount of detail in List of stadiums in India is absolutely fine; if people want more detail then they can click on the individual article. The question is, what makes Hyderabad so special that it would be able to have a stand-alone list capable of meeting WP:GNG? Spiderone  20:39, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing here is preventing people from making other stand-alone lists for other Indian states. The fact is that there are 177 stadiums in the main list, and if anyone decides to write up some actual prose or include more details on them, it's going to be awfully unwieldy. Splitting into lists like this allows for more detail without overwhelming the main list. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:54, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hyderabad isn't even a state; it's just a city and only the 5th largest in India. I'm looking through Viability_of_lists and still feel that this list falls on the wrong side of notability. I don't feel that the main India stadium list is too big. Just because a topic is notable, does not mean it needs a list. Common sense and consensus should prevail.

 * Whoops, my bad and apologies to you—that'll teach me to trust my memory. I could see an argument for dividing by state, but not by city. That said, much of this content is sourced and could be applicable elsewhere. Merge relevant info to Hyderabad? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:26, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, apology accepted! I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect to Hyderabad with a view to keeping some of the sourced prose. I'm wary that Hyderabad is a featured article and wouldn't want to put any unsourced or unnecessary list content in there. Spiderone  18:53, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

keep the sports facilities in the city had hosted lot of notable events including "Military World Games", very first "Afro Asian games" etc and others so I suppose the article shall remain. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 08:14, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 21:24, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:LIST. Whenever a list adds no more substantive information that a category would, then the longstanding consensus has been to delete it. I agree wholeheartedly in this case, whatever else happens. Bearian (talk) 14:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * One major flaw of your argument is that there are hundreds of cities in the world that have hosted major sporting events at some point in their history; to create these lists is pure WP:LISTCRUFT; the country listings are sufficient. At a stretch, I wouldn't mind listings per state (especially for USA and India) but to do listings for each individual city is ridiculous. Spiderone  10:41, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't be judgmental its not an argument. Any way, if a city can have a list of Malls, Theaters, stores etc etc why not Sports facilities. What is wrong in it ? Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 05:12, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Per WP:LISTN; no indication that the list topic has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. Fenix down (talk) 09:24, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * If article does not meet WP:LISTN; we can improve it rather than deleting it. Regards :) --Omer123hussain (talk) 05:12, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * If you can prove that this has been discussed by independent reliable sources then I will withdraw this AfD. Spiderone  18:29, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Hyderabad as a plausible search term. Anything about notable stadiums can be discussed there. Smartyllama (talk) 21:53, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I would be happy with this outcome. Spiderone  19:10, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Move or Rename it as Sports in Hyderabad as there is no article on this topic, and it is common with almost every metro-city. I can add text once moving is done. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 06:27, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge it into Sports in Hyderabad. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 05:23, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
