Delete nothing to indicate that this baseball field, home to an amateur league team, is notable. If this passes muster, nearly every high school stadium and municipal playing fields, little league diamonds, etc. deserves an article. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:01, 11 December 2009 (UTC) Keep: The stadium is home to a franchise of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, a notable collegiate summer baseball league. As a wood-bat league with players of collegiate age, the league's talent level is comparable to professional Rookie-level leagues, such as the Appalachian League. The league's talent-level aside, every stadium of the league has a Wikipedia entry. Most importantly, the article has multiple third party sources from two separate established newspapers of the region. Quoting WP:GNG, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." This article's reliable secondary sources mean that it satisfies the General Notability Guideline. Kithira (talk) 23:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The Appalachian League is professional, while this league is amateur. That's a big difference.  Also, the fact that the other fields have pages doesn't mean this one should be kept.  If anything, those pages should go through AfD as well. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree with the nominator. There's nothing to suggest that this field is notable, and being named after a kid who was murdered doesn't establish notability. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The bit about the field's name is not meant to establish notability. The independent secondary sources already do that. Kithira  (talk) 12:17, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Every stadium in the New England College Baseball League has an article. I realize someone has already said "So what?", but the fact that such effort has already been put in to creating the articles and the navigation boxes indicates that this is a league of notability to numerous editors and readers.  Don't worry, keeping this article will not send Wikipedia down the route of covering "every Little League field".  Perhaps you were just thrown by the stadium's name?--Ken Gallager (talk) 13:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
