Merge proposal

edit

I propose merging Estádio D. Afonso Henriques (1965) into Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. I think the content in Estádio D. Afonso Henriques (1965) can easily be explained in the context of Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. 44 Gabriel (talk) 23:36, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

For better justification:
This stadium was never demolished, but renovated. Show me a reference to the stadium demolition, if the location is the same. This stadium has never been demolished or anything like that. What took place were 2 major renovations a (1991 b en 2003 c) to the internal infrastructure and facades, but the skeleton and margins remain the same as always. [1]
The exceptions are the new south stand to increase final capacity. In fact, the club itself indicates this very well, both in the club's history and in the description of the stadium on the Vitória website. "Located in the heart of the city, the D. Afonso Henriques Stadium is a place of worship for the people of Guimarães. Built in 1965, then the Municipal Stadium of Guimarães, decades later it was named after the founding king of the nationality to whom he pays sincere tribute to host the games of EURO2004, it underwent extensive renovations, becoming an excellent venue for football matches. With a capacity for 30,000 people per sporting season, it occupies a prominent place in the League's visitors list."
Note the dates in the history and images of the evolution and expansion of the stadium in the dates 1965, 1989, 1995 and 2003. There is also a video showing the works carried out and new constructions.
Therefore, it is best to combine these two articles, and eliminate the first, as one is a continuation of the other and not two different objects and structures. With the merger you will also be able to obtain a better and more complete article with true and currently untrue information, such as what is present in wikidata, which basically says that the stadium was demolished in 2005 to be replaced by a new stadium built in 2003? This information on wikidata is wrong and general misinformation. 44 Gabriel (talk) 20:52, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
