The result was MERGE to Ohio State University. There is a clear consensus that this is not substantive out of its parent article. There is no consensus to delete outright, but taking together all those who would not have this stand alone, the situation is pretty clear that this is of primarily or exclusively local interest. I do not find it persuasive to say that because article A is long, all elements B-Z of it therefore earn their own articles. -Splash - tk 22:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Outside of the context of the university in question, this is an entirely unremarkable bit of ground. If anything needs to be said about this on Wikipedia, then it needs a sentence or at most two at Ohio State University Thryduulf (talk) 20:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LOCAL and WP:HOLE, even though it appears to be filled in. Wikipedia is not a campus map or directory. --Dhartung | Talk 20:59, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Ohio State University. ArcAngel (talk) 21:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep It's more notable than this article suggest. It was simply started as a stub, and it certainly needs expansion. The events held there make it as notable as an arena. It's known to more than the OSU community. Also, note that I started it due to its presence on a wanted article list of topics concerning OSU.  нмŵוτн τ  01:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - The only time it's notable outside of OSU is when Musburger mentions it on ABC during the OSU-Michigan game, it seems to me. Thus - I feel it could just as well being merged into the OSU article, rather than as a stand alone article.  ArcAngel (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 01:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The OSU article is so large, however, that little other articles are needed (WP:SUMMARY).  нмŵוτн τ  18:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge per ArcAngel. Some notable events may be held here, but that doesn't mean that the actual location is all that notable outside of a very local context.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC).
 * Keep. Notable location with verfiable information.  Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 16:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
