The Current State of Wikipedia Pages for NCAA Division II Arenas
editI am writing this to voice my displeasure of the current state of Wikipedia pages for NCAA Division II arenas. I spent the last fifteen minutes going over every single arena for NCAA Division II programs, and I must say I'm disappointed to say the least. While there are plenty of bare-bones stubs for NCAA Division I arenas (considering every Division I program automatically gets one), this is especially apparent for DII. There are several large arenas the size of what you would expect for a mid-major D-I school whose Wikipedia articles are WASTED POTENTIAL. The following list is every arena and my personal rating (some differ from the official rating):

Honestly, I think we can do better. Many of these pages that are currently stubs have major potential, especially the higher-capacity arenas and the older ones. If there are any volunteers, feel free to contact me! Newspapers.com is the best source material in my opinion.
