[edit] The Ritacco Center

Reason Possible non-notable arena, could be only notable to the school district. Invitatious 00:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - the facility is rather unique in that while it is used by the local school district for sporting events, presentations and graduations, etc., it is also used as a major regional concert and performance venue, as part of a public / private partnership. In this way, the use of the facility is maximized and revenue generated goes to benefit the school district. If there are specific reasons or criteria that this arena fails to meet, they should be identified. Alansohn 01:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete, and clean up if not deleted First off, this article needs clean up. It has a list of musicians who have played there ONLY to assert notability, not because the information is important. You wouldn't list every artist who's ever played at Radio City Music Hall, would you? In addition, the second paragraph is quite advertisement-y, and needs ot be changed a bit. Now, as per the actual deletion discussion: not to cancel out my fellow New Jerseyan's argument, but I simply don't think this arena is notable enough. I respect the fact that it's a somewhat interesting arena insofar as what it's used for, but I doubt it's the only one of its kind. While, in my reading of WP, I think a precedent has been set up for stadiums, this is only if they're of particular significance- for example, if a European soccer (footie) team plays its home games there, or if it's the largest concert venue in a certain state. 3,500 seats is rather sizable, but it's smaller than every minor league ballpark, and there's no way every (or even the vast majority) of minor league ballparks have their own articles. And the main use of the arena is just that of a school district, but that makes it no more notable than a high school football stadium. -- Kicking222 01:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
