An average soccer stadium in Africa. Fails the general notability guideline and WP:MILL. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 18:51, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if this stadium were in New York and not Zanzibar, there is no way it would ever considered for deletion. Wikipedia's systematic bias strikes again.--TM 21:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it's a 15,000 person stadium in a major city, not a little league field in the middle of nowhere. The article needs expansion, not deletion. Zachlipton (talk) 02:39, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep A very quick search on google, google books, and google news turned up coverage on historical events that have happened here. I've added these into the article, although I'm sure there is more to find. There is also some more recent coverage I haven't added yet on debates over its finances, use by the military, and use as a soccer stadium. A president of Zanzibar has been sworn in here. --Banana (talk) 21:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as above, this stadium appears to be notable in both a sporting and non-sporting context. Giant Snowman 22:47, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets WP:GNG does not come under Mill, although that is just an essay. Adam4267 (talk) 13:56, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
