[edit] Opera Field

Delete A non-notable, red-linked field. Thelb⁴ 17:56, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete or merge with the school's article. Devotchka 18:10, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge this one-sentence article into Interlochen Center for the Arts and delete. I don’t think a redirect is necessary. It’s hard to imagine anyone going to an encyclopedia to look up “Opera Field.” ♠DanMS 00:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep a very notable, very important piece of history. Are we going to delete the article for Washington Mall and the Plain of Troy, too? (unsigned vote by Linguistixuck)
• Keep I was for deleting, but you're right. Are we gonna do away with Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium, too? (unsigned vote by 128.197.244.46)
  • This is just a sports field at a school. We don't need every school's sports field on Wikipedia. By the way, please sign votes with ~~~~. Thelb⁴ 21:58, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Interlochen Center for the Arts -- Longhair | Talk 23:40, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Comparing this with Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium is more than just a little silly. Denni☯ 04:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Don't delete anything here the article or an argument. This field is not a sports field at some random school-- it is a field where concerts have been played by everyone from Norah Jones to Josh Groban to Film Dialog. Plus, Norah Jones played frisbee there!!! (second unsigned vote by 128.197.244.46)
• Merge into Interlochen Center for the Arts and redirect. If and when there is sufficient material to warrant an article of its own, then it can be separated out.User:Bkonrad 13:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Does it really hurt to keep this? It is an important spot where concerts have been given by famous people and Norah Jones played frisbee there. Quoth the "what Wikipedia is not page": "there is no practical limit to the number of topics we can cover other than verifiability".... maybe the red links are stupid and should be de-linked, but this is an important spot-- maybe not washington mall-- but still a site worthy of an article, especially given that there is NO PRACTICAL LIMIT. Thank you. (unsigned vote by Operafield defender)
• Comment - I'm sorry if this comment shouldn't go here, but at what point do we actually act on these proposals and how? How about we add a temporary counter to the article code and see how many hits it gets? Would a photo make it look more legit? (unsigned comment by Operafield defender)
  • Comment - A page remains on this list (Articles for Deletion) for one week, at which point, if there's a consensus to delete, it gets deleted, otherwise, it stays. Seeing as your username is "Operafield defender" and you announce on your userpage that you created the account to keep this particular article from being deleted, you might be referred to a page called WP:SOCK - I suggest you check it out now. Oh, and a photo couldn't hurt the article, although it might not save it either. The best way to improve the article is to add verifiable facts that have been reported by other media sources (please see our verifiability policy), and citing those sources. One more thing, please sign comments on talk pages by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~ -GTBacchus 23:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment So far, the voting is at 3 for delete, 3 for merge and 3 for keep (not including 128.197.244.46's second vote). If 128.197.244.46 is not allowed to vote, there's only 2 for keep, and if Operafield defender is not allowed, it is 1 keep. Let's make it clear: who here who has voted is allowed to vote?
