Fair use rationale for Image:JP1.jpg

Image:JP1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It is called "Газпром-Арена" (Gazprom arena) in Russian Wikipedia. I propose to rename the article. Andries (talk) 19:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The current name of the article is certainly absurd. Willy turner (talk) 20:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Alsom the russian Wikipedia mention as opening date (Дата открытия) March 2009 (март 2009), not Dec. 2008. Andries (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I changed the opening date to 2009, as going by the most recent photos and webcam it aint gonna be finished by the end of the year. Willy turner (talk) 20:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Where is it located? Andries (talk) 19:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Gazprom Arena

This Gazprom Arena appears to be the correct name of the new stadium. At the very least it should be New St Petersburg stadium, not sure how the present title came about.Lord Cornwallis (talk) 17:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Why do you think so? Official name, that is used at this moment in documents and talks in Saint Petersburg - Футбольный стадион в западной части Крестовского острова - The football stadium at western part of Krestovsky island. When stadium get another official name, the article will be renamed too. Dinamik (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It is an official name from December 8, so it should be used as an article title and a main name, not a "currently known as" --Venuelab (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

capacity

Why has wikipedia the capacity at 69 500, while the Zenit stadium page linked at the bottom has 62 000? I've read 62 000 elsewhere, as well, so I'm a bit confused about the higher number. 31.16.210.247 (talk) 10:14, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Krestovsky Stadium → Gazprom Arena – Official name (https://gazprom-arena.com). Schrike (talk) 13:13, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 19:37, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose - there is long-standing consensus not to use sponsored names for soccer stadiums. GiantSnowman 19:39, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

• Looking at random at some of the articles listed for some stadiums listed List of sponsored sports venues, this "consensus" seems to be very intermittently applied. SecretName101 (talk) 23:03, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

• • It's not "sponsored name". Nobody calls it "Krestovsky Stadium". And Otkritie Arena, RZD Arena, SKB-Bank Arena, TatNeft Arena, VEB Arena, VTB Arena are "sponsored names"? No? Why? - Schrike (talk) 01:04, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
• Agree - The name should be changed to Gazprom Arena. Danloud (talk) 11:21, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose. We try to avoid sponsorship names. The others should probably be moved too. But how about moving it to Saint Petersburg Stadium, which already redirects here? -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:42, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

The Krestovsky Stadium is the home ground of FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. Photographed here in 2016, when construction was nearing completion, it is situated on Krestovsky Island in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg. It was opened in 2017 as a venue for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, and hosted the final, in which Germany beat Chile 1–0. It was one of the venues for the 2018 FIFA World Cup the following year. Among other features, it has a retractable roof, and is equipped with a video-surveillance and identification system, as well as security-alarm, fire-alarm and robotic fire-extinguishing systems. The stadium's seating capacity is 67,800.
