[edit] UIUC Ice Arena

Prodded and deprodded. No notability established. This could be included in an article called UIUC athletic facilities, but has no standalone value. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atkins Tennis Center ~ trialsanderrors 07:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete U of I doesn't even have a hockey team, be it D1 or otherwise. Nate 07:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Huh??? illinihockey.com ~ trialsanderrors 07:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Sorry, just going by the main Illini Sports page and the fact they aren't a Big Ten team competing in hockey in the WCHA. Still Delete. Nate 07:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, no less notable than anything else in Category:Indoor ice hockey venues in the United States. BoojiBoy 14:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment argument should be discounted because there are gradations in notability between the category listings. A WP listing does not bestow notability unless it survives AfD. ~ trialsanderrors 18:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, perhaps into the Student Life or Points of Interest section. --EazieCheeze 19:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
 Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 20:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign#Student Life. We do that with all buildings that aren't regularly featured on a wide audience venue. E.g. a football stadium will be seen every week on TV during season, but the hockey rink will perhaps get a cable TV viewing, and probably not. Geogre 02:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Geogre. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 03:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Geogre. Green451 16:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. If you review other University articles, many of them have articles for every building. --Aguerriero (talk) 19:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, this is a widespread problem. Those should also generally be merged, except where the building is of national importance. — Haeleth Talk 20:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Geogre. — Haeleth Talk 20:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• I've already merged the information under the athletics section, but I don't think this has been open long enough yet to close and perform the redirect, has it? But I think consensus may have been reached. Jacqui^★ 20:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Anyone can perform the redirect at any time, but it's courteous to let the nomination stand for at least 24 hours before doing so. Since a redirect is non-destructive, anyone can look into the history, if assessing. I would argue that closing should not take place early, as we really should give people time to stumble in and make their arguments. I don't know of any case like this where a verdict has changed, but it's polite to allow for the possibility. Geogre 21:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Vegaswikian 02:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into UIUC article' Don't want an article for every building at every college.Edison 02:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP Ice Arena was designed by a notable architect (Holabird and Roche, who designed Memorial Stadium on campus and Soldier Field in Chicago. The arena is a significant building, potentially eligble for National Register nomination, and home to a very popular club hockey team on campus (the rink also has ties to olympic gold-medalist Bonnie Blair, who grew up in Champaign)... the article needs to be expanded, not deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ijustkrushalot (talk • contribs).
