New White Sox Stadium

This is a good example of WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. This is one proposal, but it is so early in the process that this article is not warranted. Angryapathy (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep They are still in negotiations with the state of Illinois on the proposal along with the new Chicago Bears stadium. That's why they are categorized under Category:Proposed stadiums in the United States.  If nothing becomes of this proposal, then the category on the page changes to Category:Unbuilt stadiums in the United States.  That's the whole purpose of these categories...

 * The existence of a category doesn't mean any subject that falls under that category gets its own Wikipedia page. WP:N is paramount, not categories. Angryapathy (talk) 18:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete or Draftify per nom. The proposal has not yet been approved for a stadium that may or may not be built.  Clearly a case of WP:TOOSOON.  Frank   Anchor  19:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep (Duplicate vote struck) If you delete this, then what do you do with the other proposed stadiums/arenas?:   ,

As I stated before, then it gets moved to and in the case of arenas,   Roberto221 (talk) 08:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC) 22:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Pointing out other articles is not a valid argument in AFDs. Each article must stand or fall on its own merits.  Frank   Anchor  22:52, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * What makes this article different than all the other articles on the Category:Proposed_stadiums_in_the_United_States page? Don't give me the excuse that it's WP:TOOSOON since they all follow the same criteria.  If you can see/read all the other articles, they are not different other than their proposed locations.  And I'll use the other articles to make a point and show the inconsistencies in this logic...Roberto221 (talk) 08:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Those probably could be draftified or deleted as well (each would need examined individually), but the sole topic of this discussion is the White Sox proposed stadium.  Frank  Anchor  11:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge to History of the Chicago White Sox as an alternative to deletion, since this topic doesn't (yet) appear to transcend the limitations of WP:NOTNEWS to merit its own article. Left guide (talk) 06:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m not sure the 2024 season is an appropriate target. The stadium won’t open in 2024, and I see it highly unlikely construction would even begin this year.  Frank   Anchor  11:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If there is a merge, I suggest the merge/redirect go to The 78, which is the area where this stadium is suggested to be built. Angryapathy (talk) 15:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Draftify – As WP:ATD. I'm also not opposed to deleting Svartner (talk) 06:58, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - This needs to be merged somewhere. It will undoubtedly be a large, fully documented piece shortly, as more coverage inevitably appears. Carrite (talk) 05:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This is the exact purpose of draft space.  Frank  Anchor  10:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
