 * Redirect to Elkhart Central High School. I fail to see why a HS gym would be notable, but since it is one of the largest in the country and might be a search term, a redirect makes the most sense. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 22:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I do not oppose a redirect, but since both high schools use it, I think merging to the school district is a better option. John from Idegon (talk) 23:04, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree that there isn't much here, but I also note that it was used as the home field for a team in the International Basketball League.  The good folks over at WikiProject Basketball don't seem to have formed any guidelines as to the notability of venues.  But I've seen other sport WikiProjects take the position that even a single professional game played at a venue renders it "notable".  Unless the Basketball project says otherwise, I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to "keeping".  NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Mildly Oppose. The problem with a merge and redirect is that this fieldhouse is used by both high schools in Elkhart (both of which have articles even though only one is linked to in the fieldhouse article). Which high school article should it be described in, and to which one would the redirect go? Indyguy Indyguy (talk) 02:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The claim of largest high school gymnasium in the country is not only a strong claim of notability, but is backed up by appropriate reliable and verifiable sources. A smattering of the available material was added, and more could be included, but the notability standard is met. The lack of an obvious merge target for a shared gym makes the redirect option less viable than retention. Alansohn (talk) 04:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
