National cricket stadium

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The concept of this article is original research. Nowhere in this this article do we find reliable sources stating that the listed "stadiums" are "national" stadiums and nor are we likely to find them. The statement "Typically it serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams" certainly does not apply to most of these cricket grounds. The tradition in cricket is not to have "national stadiums" but for the national team to travel to different grounds across the country every season. Mattinbgn\talk 19:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: As per the reason for listing, it is a misleading and unreferenced article, as the vast majority of cricketing nations don't have a single national stadium that they stick to. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. For other sports there may be scope for a "list of national ____ stadiums". Clearly that isn't the case for cricket. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:38, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, commentators above, and the associated discussion at WT:CRIC. Complete OR and an early close would be appropriate. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  20:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Cricket is one of the few sports where countries don't have national stadia (for example, the 2009 Ashes series was played in Cardiff, London (twice), Birmingham and Leeds). So, for this reason, it can be considered original research. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  22:04, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
