• Delete Has only hosted TWO matches in its history-not enough to pass GNG. –Cupper52^Discuss! 13:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is blatantly inaccurate, there are two matches listed because they include professional teams, but it has hosted numerous college soccer matches every year since it opened. Smartyllama (talk) 18:37, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Smartyllama. As he said, Sorrels Field hosts many other college soccer matches. Therefore, it should be kept. --Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk) 01:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Division I College soccer stadiums are notable, and the suggestion that it "has only hosted two matches in its history" shows a complete lack of WP:BEFORE. Those are just the two matches involving professional teams, it has hosted numerous college soccer matches every season since it opened. Smartyllama (talk) 18:36, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, but convert to redirect and incorporate article contents into Houston Baptist University. This was originally a redirect, and it has 7 incoming links. It was only recently converted into an article. If the result of this discussion is that it fails WP:GNG, it should be retained as a redirect, not deleted.

  FYI, you can vote redirect directly. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 06:32, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with the suggested Redirect to Houston Baptist Huskies, it's a better target than the original redirect. (But the Huskies article should be expanded a little to incorporate the information currently in the Sorrels Field article). Colonies Chris (talk) 09:35, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Houston Baptist Huskies. I think that is a better target location than the one suggested by @Colonies Chris:. GiantSnowman 19:14, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Houston Baptist Huskies - fails WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD; this piece of architecture would need to pass one or the other to have an article. The fact that it is a stadium does not make it exempt from meeting our notability guidelines. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 08:17, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Houston Baptist Huskies - per above fails WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD. No SIGCOV from IS RS.  // Timothy :: talk  16:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per WP:CHEAP and as a reasonable consensus. Bearian (talk) 16:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep No redirect, keep it with the actual information. Having it as a real article is better than putting in a redirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk • contribs) 01:12, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also added some secondary sources, this article all has reliable information with multiple primary and secondary sources. --Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk) 01:18, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those sources provide nothing more than a passing mention and do nothing to establish notability. Does this stadium get any coverage at all in the media or is it just the university websites? I stand by my 'redirect' comment. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it's supposed to have secondary sources, but why do we absolutely need them. If you think about it, an article with actual information is better than just a redirect. This article has more information and more sources than other college soccer stadiums. There are other articles with just one primary source, so why should this one be deleted when those other ones aren't? --Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk) 16:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For a stadium to qualify for an article, it needs to meet the normal Wikipedia inclusion criteria for structures; WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD. I would expect to see secondary sources covering all aspects of the stadium including history, notable events, facilities etc. There are many good examples of articles that can be used for guidance, for example Lumen Field and Carrow Road.
