Deletion
This should never have been deleted. To say that this was done summarily and without reason is putting it mildly. Had the Wikiprojects Rugby Union and Rugby League been informed that this was up for deletion then it would have survived easily. The stadium was dismissed as a "non-notable football (sic) stadium" despite having hosted international rugby union matches, being the home of Oxford University's rugby union team (games vs Cambridge are televised) and hosting the one of only five semi-professional rugby league sides in the South of England.GordyB (talk) 17:42, 17 May 2014 (UTC) Oh and contains a listed building.GordyB (talk) 18:13, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- @GordyB: The article was deleted because it was put up for WP:PROD on 13 March 2014; the PROD expired on 20 March 2014 without it being contested, so it was deleted - here's the log entry. The WikiProjects were informed, through the Article Alerts system: here are the notifications for Union and League. Both were posted at 12:00 on 14 March 2014. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:24, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- THe thing being is that nobody looks at the automatic notifications. It's normal protocol to message the project if there is a doubt about notability.GordyB (talk) 21:20, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- If nobody looks at them, why do we have them? But somebody at WP Rugby Union and WP Rugby League must want the Article Alerts notifications, otherwise they wouldn't have signed up for them in the first place.
- Anyway, the person to complain to is the person who put it up for PROD, which was Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs). --Redrose64 (talk) 22:48, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Redrose64, for the ping, and for explaining to GordyB a bit about how things work. A few comments:
- rugby football is a kind of football
- despite what is written in the article, there is no stadium at this address; it's a football ground
- the article has no references whatsoever
- our criteria for notability in this wiki are fairly clear; I believe that the only one that might apply here is WP:GNG, and the topic as described certainly doesn't meet that
- so I've nominated it for deletion
