A university soccer field is generally not notable, and I'm not seeing any indications that this should be an exception. A WP:BEFORE search turns up no evidence of independent coverage about the facility. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:39, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to USC Trojans, as possible search term. GiantSnowman 13:39, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- @GiantSnowman, normally I'd support that, but there appears to be a McAlister Field House at another institution, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was more beyond that. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hatnotes, my friend, hatnotes! GiantSnowman 18:09, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- That's an option, but I'm not sure this title as a redirect would get enough hits to justify the minor clutter of a hatnote. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 18:51, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

- Delete because it lacks in-depth coverage, and is not really notable because it's just a university soccer field, barely a stadium. Paul Vaurie (talk) 21:32, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. There doesn't appear to be any SIGCOV but I would happily reconsider if the location should have any non-sport notability, as can be the case. Not at all sure it's worth a redirect. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:19, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Keep the home stadium for a two-time women's NCAA soccer champion. A quick Google search for "McAlister Field Los Angeles" results in 361,000 hits.

Newshunter12 (talk) 23:06, 14 October 2021 (UTC)- This is an argument to avoid; see WP:GOOGLEHITS. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:48, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect – as per GS, to USC Trojans. There's a lot of passing mentions for "McAlister Field" or "Sony McAlister Field", and coupled with a not-insignificant number of page views in the past 30 days this suggests that this would profile as a possible search term.

- The daily average this year is three views per day. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:34, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources is required to demonstrate notability. I couldn't find. Brayan ocaner (talk) 10:54, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - outside of the websites for organisations directly connected with these facilities, there is very little coverage. Passing mentions in match reports do not count towards notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:13, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect: Fails WP:NBUILDING and ultimately WP:GNG. However, my opinion is that "McAlister Field" is a plausible search term and thus a WP:REDIR would be warranted. I also would not be opposed to delete. GauchoDude (talk) 13:19, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete no evidence of any WP:SIGCOV from reliable independent sources or claim of notability in the article.Brayan ocaner (talk) 09:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
