Fails
WP:GNG due lack of
WP:SIGCOV in reliable, independent sources. Particularly the article includes three references, each of which is very basic statistical data (e.g., date of founding and matches played there) or a one-sentence mention. Per
WP:NBUILDING, "The inclusion of a man-made geographical feature on maps or in directories is insufficient to establish topic notability".
My
WP:BEFORE search turned up only a brief additional mention
in the Deccan Chronicle (a short paragraph containing no actual detail about the grounds beyond the year they were founded). A "citations needed" template has been on the page since 2016 with none further added. Looking at the grounds objectively,
judging by the photos of it that are available online, they do not even have viewing stands but only a medium-sized pavilion such as many local non-notable cricketing grounds have, so it seems unlikely that there will be much in the way of significant coverage of the grounds per se given the lack of facillities for anyone to visit the grounds as a spectator.
Finally, the Tamil Nadu cricket team are not based there - they've used the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium since 1916 - so the EPSNCricinfo data used in the infobox is obviously wrong. FOARP ( talk) 06:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment it has been used by Tamil Nadu, even if it's not their main ground: [1]. And there are some sources related to it being renamed: [2], [3], but would need to do a more thorough search for most old and new name before voting. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
