The result was Withdrawn. I'm convinced by the arguments given that a withdrawal is in order. While it seems a bit weak in terms of notability, I'm happy to comply with policy and consensus. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While listed as having Jammu & Kashmir cricket team as home team, it really isn't (and that isn't enough reason by itself). This is a place that itself hasn't garnered enough media attention (via search) and isn't a geographical area, so it isn't automatically notable. I thought about redirecting, but Gandhi Memorial Science College is a redlink, so there is no logical place to redirect to. As a stand alone, I just don't see it passing WP:GNG nor being a valid exception. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 22:37, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Playing first class cricket is the WP:NCRIC notability guideline, so as this ground has hosted many first class cricket matches, that makes it notable in my opinion. The-Pope (talk) 03:21, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per The-Pope our guideline assumes notability for first-class cricket grounds. If an article is created for the College, a merge and redirect would probably make sense, but in the absence of that article, this one should be kept. Harrias ^talk 06:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: as per WP:NCRIC. Just to give an example, Wankhede Stadium is a world famous cricket stadium but very few people hardly knows who S. K. Wankhede is. His article is also stub. There is also a Nahar Singh Stadium but article on Nahar Singh was once nominated for AfD. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nahar Singh. So it does not matters if that college itself doesn't has article but ground associated with that college has hosted first class cricket matches and also a home ground of state level team so it deserves article. --Human3015^{Send WikiLove} 10:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
