This article is based on similar Olympic venue lists and I believe that it meets the criteria. Arsenikk (talk) 06:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Quick note, tables need scope row and scope col tags, see MOS:DTT for more information and examples. Town Plaza under "Non-competition venues", the ndash isn't lining up with the others as well. Albacore (talk) 22:57, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I think this article meets the criteria, but I am concerned by the fact that it can easily fit into the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, and thus violates criteria 3b. I know that venue articles are usually separated, but considering there is next to no content on the parent article, it seems that, at least at this point, this article would be better placed on the parent. Interested in what others may think. Ravendrop 19:52, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose on 3b, this won't happen for four years and there seems no logical reason to split this out from the (very brief) main article as Ravendrop has noted above. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:14, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics article was expanded, there would not be room to include all the information in this article, as venues is only a small part any given article about large sports tournaments, which usually center around the sports events themselves. This article allows details not permitted in the main article, especially related to non-competition venues. Even given that the event has not taken place, large amounts of the organization, bids, events, calendar and venue information could be included, and the medal table would be the only significant part which could not be created until the actual events. I am concerned that the review of this article is based on the quality of another article, not the article up for nomination. The reason for my interest is that I have been working on the venues of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics and this article, along with for instance the heritage venue operator company, become natural extensions of this work.

- I understand your concerns, and yes, I think in perhaps 2015, the main article will not be able to sustain all this information about venues, but right now, the main article is pretty much 50% intro and templates, and 50% venues (and it's very, very short, almost stub-like). This article, while excellent, is also very short indeed, and I honestly believe it still could be merged into the main article. I'm sorry to keep my position because I know how hard you work on all FLCs here, but as I say to many people, my opinion is just that, my opinion. Let's see what others have to say about it.
