Memorial ground

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable pitch used by a local amateur club. PROD denied by author. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails to establish notability and has no sources. Additionally, the article's title is quite generic. Noir (talk) 12:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. One university's local pitch, no notability asserted. J I P  | Talk 14:08, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Memorial Stadium (Bristol) where Memorial Ground (note capitalisation) redirects. The Memorial Stadium is a notable venue, home to two professional sports teams, whereas this is home to no notable teams. I would have suggested adding a hatnote to the article about the stadium in Bristol linking to the article about Penistone Church FC, but the football teams currently has only a single short sentence at Penistone (although I will double the coverage by noting there the name of their ground.)

 * Delete and Redirect as above. Can't see the football club achieving notability, let alone the ground. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect as per Thryduulf. GiantSnowman 10:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect, I thought that Memorial Ground was the name of the Bristol Rovers stadium. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I did too! This was the reason I looked for (and found) the Memorial Ground title. says it was renamed from Ground to Stadium in 1998. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Er, yes it is. What we are advocating here is deleting this article (perfectly fine, happens all the time) and then creating a new redirect at the same title (again this is perfectly fine and happens all the time). The target of the redirect is abound a completely different subject (a rugby and football stadium in Bristol) than the article up for deletion (a football ground in Penistone, Yorkshire), and so no information is being merged.
