Talk:Brabourne Stadium

Main Picture

There are decent pictures in the public domain providing an aerial view of the stadium. Such a picture should be used as the main picture for this article.

Head Office

... has the offices of the BCCI, the head organisation of Indian cricket

Doesn't Brabourne house THE headquarters of the BCCI ? If yes, this point should be given more stress. Tintin 16:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Capacity of the stadium

Cricinfo and some other online sources put the capacity of the Brabourne Stadium as 20,000, but according to the sources 1 & 3 in the references listed in the article it was built to accomodate 35,000 people. This is another source which puts it as 35,000 while an article about a Rolling stones concert has it as 25,000. We need to find the correct figure. Tintin (talk) 06:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I think some Wikipedian in Mumbai should contact the ground authorities & get the exact figure.

Thanks

Nichalp mentioned here that 20,000 is the more likely figure, but if we get it confirmed it would be great. Tintin (talk) 07:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm

(In 1937) The stadium was named after Brabourne at the suggestion of the Maharaja of Patiala.

Then what was the immortality that De Mello offered Lord Brabourne ? Tintin 13:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Offered by De Mello on Patiala's suggestion. Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 05:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

GA Review

Reviewer: BrianDeeG (talk · contribs) 19:02, 22 May 2012 (UTC) I will review the article. I have given it a quick, initial read but can make no comments at this stage. I am on a short holiday at present and will be able to pursue the process in a few days time. --Brian (talk) 19:02, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Initial survey

I have immediate concerns that will have to be addressed before I can perform an in-depth review. There is no bibliography as required by WP:MOS and this must list all books used for reference. The style of the citations must then be changed to, for example, <ref>Knox, pp.152–153.</ref>. The way that the online citations has been handled is fine except that these heavily outnumber the book references and I see this as a concern. I would expect an article about a 75-year old stadium to be based mainly on book references and this needs to be addressed too.

"See also" sections are generally deprecated so you should find some way of incorporating those articles into the main narrative if possible.

In the "further reading" section, the first item should be an "external link" while, in any case, it is incorrectly titled and it does not link to a list of matches. Given the titles of the second and third items, I would expect these to provide citations in the article and they should be used instead of online alternatives where possible. The fourth title may be similar and, as a minor point, the author's name is a redlink which needs to be addressed. I noticed another couple of redlinks elsewhere in the article. Another minor point is the failure to comply with WP:CRIC re its style guide as "Test" is written "test".

I will put the article ON HOLD for the time being. --Brian (talk) 13:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Failed

There has been no activity on the article or any response to the concerns I raised a week ago. I am therefore failing the article and would suggest that the points above are addressed as the next stage of the article's development. --Brian (talk) 09:27, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

claim that it was India's first sporting avenue

The article says Brabourne Stadium was built on 90,000 square yards of reclaimed land[6] along Marine Drive[7] near Churchgate railway station in South Mumbai[8] and was India's first permanent sporting venue.[9][10] do no sound to be true or factual as other cricket grounds for example Eden Gardens at Kolkata existed since 1864.
