Messehalle, Sindelfingen

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

Insignificant place of local interest, not of any interest except to the local community. (It isn't Madison Square Garden by a long shot). If covered in reliable sources, it would likely be exclusively local sources, and only brief mentions without substantial depth--i.e., not sufficiently notable per WP:TRIVIALMENTION. notability is not conferred merely by having a famous sing there...now if Ozzy ate the head off a small child there, perhaps. However, this entry is not notable per WP:ROTM, WP:LOCAL, WP:NLI. ColonelHenry (talk) 05:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are many, many less notable music venues on Wikipedia. For example Messehalle, Innsbruck. An exhibition hall of this size and with such famous artists is definitely notable without any doubt. Evangp (talk) 05:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

furthermore it just needs a little touching up by someone with more knowledge of the venue Evangp (talk) 05:40, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That argument is rather specious...See Wikipedia:Other stuff exists

good point, but still this is without a doubt notable Evangp (talk) 05:51, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, let AfD sort out the wheat from the chaff. I say chaff, You say wheat. abide by the decision and wisdom of the crowd, whether they keep or get rid of this chaff.--ColonelHenry (talk) 05:54, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A stadium with 3000 people and major acts is notable. (obviously, the fact that we have some smaller that are smaller is not by itself a reason to keep this one--it's not just a matter of size, & anyway, we're not known for consistency.) I'm, a strong critic of including too much local material, but this size is more than local--at 300 I'd say delete. I suppose material could be found about the construction and financing so on, if GNG really mattered--but we could do that at 300 also, if the public paid for it.

Keep Arguing that a concert hall that hosted The Who is not Madison Square Garden is analogous to arguing that Millard Fillmore is clearly not Abraham Lincoln, so we ought to delete Fillmore's biography. I don't buy that line of reasoning. Less notable topics and more notable topics are all . . . . notable, and deserving of Wikipedia articles.
