 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete - the sources included in the article itself go part of the way to establishing notability. It was obviously a more significant venue in the 60s and 70s than it is now. Recent mentions are just that and mostly relate to objections to a nearby housing development. None of those sources could seem to cover the venue itself in much detail. My hesitation is that there certainly are sources available and the manner in which it was opened suggests there would be a lot more coverage in older, non-digital sources. Notability not being temporary, its lasting impact on the community should be considered. So I wouldn't be upset if this was kept but I accept that any such sources aren't immediately available.

 * Comment. Well, this is another example of the general bias against contemporary history, both in the form of the well-discussed "digital black hole" and in terms of the way some people think it is "stealing their childhood".  If the BNA had as much material from the 1960s and 1970s as it does from the 19th and early 20th centuries, it would be far easier to find reliable sources for articles like this.

 * Delete per nom. As it is, it fails WP:GNG, and the possible existence of older, offline sources is not a sufficient reason to keep it. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 23:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  00:10, 19 August 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Views have balanced since the last relist but unclear what consensus is
 * Keep. In addition to the Scunthorpe Telegraph article already cited, the stadium has been discussed in a BBC article and a published autobiography. NemesisAT (talk) 21:18, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Changed to Keep - the sources provided by are exactly the sort of references I was expecting to find, but couldn't. Commendable Google-fu.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 01:59, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
