:({{Find sources AFD|title=Uxbridge Arena and Recreation Centre}})

Article about a small-town municipal recreation centre, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for local buildings. As always, arenas are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show passage of WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them in media -- but this is referenced entirely to the self-published websites of entities directly affiliated with the venue -- the town government, the local minor hockey league, the local junior hockey team and a local real estate agent -- with not even one hit of GNG-worthy coverage shown at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

:i mean you could just not be a nerd and just allow it lol, those are valid sources unfortunately you are not going to find scholarly articles on a arena Jp3333 (talk) 11:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

::That's not how Wikipedia works. It isn't our job to keep an article about everything that exists, even if we have to rely on sourcing self-published by directly affiliated entities to do it — our job is to keep articles about things that have third-party journalistic and scholarly coverage to establish that they're notable, and to not keep articles about things that don't.

:::you just made that up, "Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by presenting information on all branches of knowledge", "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." — Jimmy Wales" so keep going on your powertrip. Jp3333 (talk) 14:29, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

::::Nope, I didn't make anything up, What I said is exactly how it works. Bearcat (talk) 20:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete. I don't see sigcov of this local arena here. I think it probably exists somewhere in a newspaper archive, so someone might be able to make an article on this topic, but I don't think we're going to turn it up during this AfD, if ever. Here's the two local news websites: [https://www.durhamregion.com], [https://www.thestandardnewspaper.ca/]. They're not great. I've just nominated a related article, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scugog Community Recreation Centre. -- asilvering (talk) 01:46, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Has anyone given consideration to enhancing the :Uxbridge, Ontario article with a partial merge/redirect? That article is not particularly well organised, but coverage of this Arena could fit in the Attractions section, providing something of an :WP:ATD. AllyD (talk) 07:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Uxbridge, Ontario#Attractions. Thanks to AllyD for the suggestion, which in hindsight is obvious. Since there doesn't appear to be any possibility this article will be kept outright, I'll go ahead and merge the content into that article now, so that it's mentioned there. -- asilvering (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails GNG. A search in google news only finds local routine coverage so WP:AUD applies to. LibStar (talk) 00:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
