Mohammed Bin Hamad AlHitmi Indoor Hall[edit]

Does not meet WP:GEOFEAT: does not appear to have "historic, social, economic, or architectural importance," or "significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Some of these sources do not even mention the Hall (at least not by the names given in the article); none talk specifically to what makes the hall itself notable, even though they may mention that the hall exists and that things have happened there. ubiquity (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment All of the sources, which were added by myself, do mention the hall. The name is very inconsistent though. Nonetheless it is quite obvious that all sources are referring to the same hall, as Al Arabi only has one indoor hall. As for establishing notability, surely hosting table tennis and fencing events at the 2006 Asian Games is notable? What about its capacity as a home venue in four professional sports leagues?

Keep the article more than meets the notability criteria, seeing as it has been used to host international sports competitions (e.g. table tennis at 2006 Asian Games (it was referred to as Al-Arabi Indoor Hall)) as well as domestic sports competitions. It is also the primary table tennis venue in Qatar. Unfortunately the inconsistencies in its naming presents issues when making a precursory glance for sources, although I managed to find and add seven sources to the article.
