Prince Consort Road stadium[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a planned stadium that never materialised. Deserves brief coverage at Gateshead F.C.#Stadium (where it is already mentioned), but I can't see justification for an article on it. Number 5 7 15:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gateshead F.C.#Stadium, where, as nom states, it is briefly mentioned. Votes to delete rather than redirect should reconsider in light of WP:ATD. Smartyllama (talk) 18:28, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as my nomination.CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 23:58, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:
- Stadiums at National League level are notable. Many stadiums below National League level are notable. Victoria Stadium (Northwich) is notable despite being 2-3 levels below the National League and not existing any more.
- Proposed stadiums are notable. Brentford Community Stadium is notable though it hasn't been approved or designed yet. New Era Field II is notable though they don't even know where they might hypothetically build it.
- Cancelled stadiums are notable. New Queens Park is notable although QPR have now given up on the Old Oak site. Stanley Park Stadium has a longer article than most existing stadiums.
- The notability guidelines are unclear about planned buildings, but it seems nonsensical to me that the notability of a building hinges on a decision to build it or not build it. Nothing about the stadium changed on the day it was cancelled. It was still a stadium, sited and designed, for the use of Gateshead FC, that didn't exist. If stadiums become non-notable at the moment they get cancelled, you could have a bizarre Schroedinger's Cat situation where the directors of the club know that the building is non-notable but the Wikipedia-editing public think that it is.

You are correct that "Stadiums at National League level are notable", but that's not relevant here because this stadium never existed. I'm also not sure why you bring up the Victoria Stadium, as it hosted National League football for three seasons. The rest of the argument seems to be largely WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and ignoring the fact that those stadiums are for clubs at a far higher level than Gateshead (I'd expect New Queens Park to be deleted if it never happens tbh).
