 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

for the most part an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of information. some part of it might have a future as a section of NFL, but in it's current form (ie the tables) is totally unencyclopedic, let alone totally unsourced. ninety:one 17:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and/or merge - I could understand an article about stadiums with retractable roofs, but there is no need for the tables and history regarding whether the roof was open or closed on a certain date. Maybe a merge with Retractable roof, expanding the section listing stadiums that feature this style of roof... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'll give props for creativity, but even as a borderline inclusionist I have to doubt the viability of this unreferenced and possibly unverifiable list. What is the particular notability of having a roof open or closed on any given day? Last I looked they're built for this purpose. So what? If this were some earth-shaking unusual feat, then maybe. But I don't see that here. 23skidoo (talk) 21:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge roof policy details into articles for each venue into University of Phoenix Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium and Reliant Stadium, but not the date grids. This is a good idea for a list, but as these are the only three stadiums with retractable roofs in the NFL it isn't currently needed. I see the roof-opening policy as the equivalent of baseball ground rules, and those are usually mentioned within the individual stadium articles themselves.

 * Delete as an indiscriminate list of info. No need to merge to anything as this is already covered. Tavix (talk) 21:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as ICI.  Pats 1  T / C  21:52, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I cannot recommend merge because only parts of the article would be merged into several articles. Totally unencyclopedic indeed. LonelyBeacon (talk) 03:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Demolish as completely unencyclopedic. We do not need to document the likely malleable roof policies of individual sports teams, nor is this information of any conceivable use to anyone (as opposed to whether the roof is actually open or closed, which might be to someone attending a game, but isn't again something we would track). --Dhartung | Talk 05:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Any information belongs in Retractable roof or in articles on the individual stadiums. Steve Dufour (talk) 06:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Ever feel like you're building a SNOWball in a fireplace? ... Nevermind. Anyway, I can't see any encyclopedic use for this list. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther! &spades; / &diams; 06:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
