[edit] Frank Clair Stadium/Lansdowne Park

  • The problem with this article is that Lansdowne Park and Frank Clair Stadium are two different things, yet Lansdowne Park redirects here. Further, the article title is not in keeping with any naming convention that I am aware of. Skeezix1000 11:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Maybe we should have two seperate articles. The Landsdowne Park one could start by simply saying it contains Frank Clair Stadium - we can build it up from there. Re the title of this page I would probably just go with Frank Clair Stadium. I believe that the page has been renamed in the past though. Cjrother 15:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
My thoughts exactly, and I planned to do just that this weekend. As for the page move, I also agree. We should do a WP:RM. Skeezix1000 16:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Lansdowne Park created. Skeezix1000 11:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne ParkFrank Clair Stadium – The official and most commonly-used name is Frank Clair Stadium. Nobody uses that other mouthful unless they are, perhaps, giving directions. Skeezix1000 11:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, as nominator. Skeezix1000 12:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, If someone is searching they are likly more familar with the name of the stadium, than with where it is located, and so they sould not have to know both to find it. The old KISS principle. cmacd 13:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. And perhaps I've edited too boldly, but since this was listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves, it appeared that there was consensus, so I went ahead and moved it. (Administrator assistance was not needed.) John Broughton 13:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
That is my fault. I did a quick check, and saw that there was already a Frank Clair Stadium article (redirecting to Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne Park), but I was obviously mistaken. If there was no Frank Clair Stadium article, then I don't think you were too bold. Thanks. Skeezix1000 16:43, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerts

I removed the reference to random musical concerts that have taken place in the stadium over the years. Hundreds and hundreds of concerts have occurred. If we can find a source that indicates the best attended concert at the stadium, or thelist of the top three or four attended concerts at the stadium, then that's something noteworthy that merits mention in the article. Otherwise, it's just a list of what someone thinks is worthy of mention. Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
