[edit] Walhalla Cricket Grounds

• Merge with Walhalla (Victoria). The Walhalla article has been recently greatly expanded... Would be much better suited to being in the Landmarks sectino toward the bottom of the article. It should also be Ground without the 's'!!! AaronRichard 30 October 2005.

More of same, no google hits. -- Asparagus 01:08, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep real and verifiable cricket ground. ♥♥purplefeltangel♥♥ 01:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• It's "Walhalla cricket ground", but you'd have to know that cricket is played on a ground for that. Google knows about it without the "s". That said, it's more a feature of Walhalla, Victoria than a feature of itself, so merge there to give readers the whole picture of Walhalla. — mendel ☎ 03:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, landmark building. Kappa 04:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Walhalla, Victoria. No international or Pura Cup or Sheffield Shield matches have been played there but it would add colour to the town article. Capitalistroadster 04:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep major sports stadiums for all real sports. Expand to show history of building and games played there. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not actually a sports stadium at all, really, it's just an oval where people played amateur cricket. --Stormie 01:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• In that case merge to the town article. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:23, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Those games would have been amateur games between miners of Walhalla and neighbouring towns, most likely. No first-class cricket has been played there, and the ground is not notable for the cricket, so merge per Mendel. Sam Vimes 11:40, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the Walhalla article, per Mendel and Sam Vimes. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep though it should probably be moved to Walhalla Cricket Ground.--Isotope23 17:00, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above reasons.--Newyorktimescrossword 23:18, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Walhalla, Victoria and redirect. Sam Vimes is right, btw, these were amateur games between neighbouring towns, and it is a hell of walk up to the cricket ground (I didn't make the trek myself when I visited Walhalla!). --Stormie 01:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per Capitalistroadster. Denni☯ 02:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Walhalla, Victoria. This cricket ground is quite famous in Victoria. Cnwb 02:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per all above. --bainer (talk) 06:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge - not significant enough in it's own right, although the same could be said for Earlwood Oval. JPD (talk) 10:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per suggestion of Capitalistroadster--User:AYArktos | Talk 10:08, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge The ground has significance but until there is enough information on it, then it should be merged with Walhalla, Victoria. DaGizza ^{Chat (c)} 10:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per all above. -- DarbyAsh 08:31, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, ditto. Radiant_>|< 17:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merger with Walhalla, Victoria. Purely local interest. --Calton | Talk 00:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
