Merge and redirect to Zinjibar as a possible search term and merge the content into a sport section there. Govvy (talk) 23:53, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hassan Abyan, better location IMHO. Giant Snowman 13:29, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @GiantSnowman: I don't think that should a great location to redirect too, the article could be deleted, it doesn't pass GNG, and besides it's a multipurpose stadium. It belongs to the city not the club. Govvy (talk) 15:48, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
it's fairly standard to redirect the stadium to the club. Giant Snowman 16:06, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as there is not agreement on an appropriate redirect target yet.

Delete since we don't seem to have a source to support the subject's existence. The article says the stadium is in Zinjibar and earlier versions said it is in the Abyan Governorate (of which Zinjibar is the capital). The one source cited says it's in Taiz, a large city which is nowhere near Zinjibar. There is definitely a stadium with this name in Taiz [1] [2] [3], although transliterations from the Arabic vary (the name translates as "martyr's stadium", which is the name of quite a few stadiums). Unless we have a source to support the statement that the stadium is in Zinjibar we shouldn't be merging to that article. Hut 8.5 16:56, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Hut 8.5 makes some very good points above, so I believe that deletion is the best way forward. It's possible that there are two non-notable stadia in the same country with the same name. If this is the case, I don't see either one being the primary one so deletion is the only valid option, imho. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:39, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Taiz stadium is notable, it is in a big city and it wasn't hard to find articles which mention it in passing. Hut 8.5 14:12, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be interested to know who plays at that stadium. Al-Saqr SC appears to be the only major club based in Taiz but they seem to play at a different stadium. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hut 8.5: Seems you did a lot better research compared to when I first looked at this. Clearly I missed a few things there, so I will also go with delete on what you found. Regards. Govvy (talk) 21:07, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Hut 8.5. Mooonswimmer 04:35, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
