Article inclusion[edit]

Paging User:Harshhussey to this page. I have a few questions/would like to come to a consensus:

  1. Which other cricket grounds, or sporting venues of any kind, have a list of matches played? This strikes me as over-detailed — we can link to the tournament(s) pages easily enough.
  2. In what sense is the USACA a "tenant" of this ground? Should/shouldn't it be the United States national cricket team? More to the point, why doesn't Central Broward Regional Park, Leo Magnus Cricket Complex, Old Trafford Cricket Ground or The Oval show national teams (or cricketing orgs) as "tenants"?
  3. I have gone ahead changed back the first line, as I can find no evidence that "Indianapolis World Sports Park" is not the WP:COMMONNAME for this venue, or even the official name,[1] CricInfo not withstanding. What are your thoughts on it?

Briefly, it wouldn't be usual to have a list of matches played at a cricket ground, though individual matches might merit mention if they were particularly notable. Cricket at international level tends to be an itinerant game, so national teams play series of matches against each other at different grounds which tend to be "owned" or "tenanted" by one of the major domestic teams (eg, Lancashire at Old Trafford). If this isn't the correct name but is the one used in cricket websites (cricinfo, cricketarchive), then perhaps move to the correct name and leave a redirect from the current name?

I agree with the removal of the matches that were on the page, as they're already covered in the same detail at the tournament's page. Just needs some text to say "X matches of Y tournament were played in Z year" (or similar) with a link to the tournament/series. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:35, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
