Planet Bowl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's big and will be a Pan American Games venue, but still, it's just a bowling alley with no real media coverage. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Alley will host the 2015 Pan American Games which is an important multi-sporting event. Also other similar bowling alleys such as the Royal Bowling Center are still articles even without any coverage, but hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics. As the Pan American Games approach there will be more media coverage. Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions   03:17, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite it being relevant in about three years, it serves absolutely no other purpose - even in the sport of bowling. When defining the notability of a facility like a bowling establishment, it already has to be notable before the event even takes place. An event of notability does not make the facility notable. There would be hundreds of articles I could write just on the basis that a PBA major was held there, such as Red Rock Lanes, ROUND1, etc. Even the largest bowling facilities in the world do not have articles on Wikipedia despite them holding world records, and this is because bowling establishments are not notable.

 * Delete. I believe WP:NOTINHERITED applies re the 2015 games. As for the fundraising reference, the coverage is a local media article, which is not enough to establish notability. 1292simon (talk) 11:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
