Delete. Fails to establish
notability and has no
sources. Additionally, the article's title is quite generic.

Delete. One university's local pitch, no notability asserted.

Redirect to
Memorial Stadium (Bristol) where
Memorial Ground (note capitalisation) redirects. The Memorial Stadium is a notable venue, home to two professional sports teams, whereas this is home to no notable teams. I would have suggested adding a hatnote to the article about the stadium in Bristol linking to the article about Penistone Church FC, but the football teams currently has only a single short sentence at
Penistone#Sport (although I will double the coverage by noting there the name of their ground.)

Delete and Redirect as above. Can't see the football club achieving notability, let alone the ground.

Delete and redirect as per Thryduulf.

Delete and redirect, I thought that Memorial Ground was the name of the Bristol Rovers stadium.

I did too! This was the reason I looked for (and found) the
Memorial Ground title.
[1] says it was renamed from Ground to Stadium in 1998.

Note that "delete and redirect" is not permissible under the GFDL --

Er, yes it is. What we are advocating here is deleting this article (perfectly fine, happens all the time) and then creating a new redirect at the same title (again this is perfectly fine and happens all the time). The target of the redirect is abound a completely different subject (a rugby and football stadium in Bristol) than the article up for deletion (a football ground in Penistone, Yorkshire), and so no information is being merged.
