Not sure if it is notable. Could easily be merged into another article. (I'm just the New Page Patroller!) —Tom Morris 02:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename. I believe that stadiums and athletic buildings for state-level colleges are inherently notable. They are always used by states for major events and if ones digs around a while you'll usually find something. For instance, this structure was used by the state of Wisconsin to host the 2010 state college volleyball championships [1]. I didn't search very long and I'm sure there are more uses and this article should be allowed to grow. I suggest a rename because this name doesn't make sense. The only other use for Williams Center is the unincorporated community Williams Center, Ohio so there is no disambiguation conflicts with moving it to Williams Center. Otherwise it could be Williams Center (Whitewater) if disambiguation is needed. If this becomes a non-admin closure, I can take care of deleting the redirect to allow the move that I'm suggesting.

Comment: I agree with RoyalBroil about keeping and renaming. I am wondering what oother uses by the public concerning Williams Center. Thank you-RFD (talk) 14:44, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It does meet the minimum requirements of the guidelines and I agree stadiums and sporting venues should be considered notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carol1946 (talk • contribs) 05:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Delete and Merge to Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks, though there isn't much to merge beyond the lede. Makes more sense for a sports venue to go with the athletics article. Nate • (chatter) 11:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge is invalid; it'd transfer the authorship of the content. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 15:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noted then. I'll switch to Keep/rename per RB because he does make a compelling case for expansion since UW-W is a major D-III program. Nate • (chatter) 23:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename. Per Royal.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into the university's article (UW-Whitewater). This is principally the center for student recreational and intramural sports. Thus it is an important element of the campus but not likely to be notable as an independent topic. The attached fieldhouse (where basketball games are played) seems to have a different name. (See [2].) The university article is rather anemic, so it has plenty of space for this topic. --Orlady (talk) 16:26, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
