  • Keep - A few of us have been trying to develop a history of this club for sometime. It is of note to allumni of the University of Aberdeen and arguably also simply for being one of the biggest hockey clubs left in the North East of Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marineboy (talk • contribs) — Marineboy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • The alumni of any one particular college risks being such a small minority that in a fandom oriented topic we might consider detailed information on the subject to be cruft. I think revisions to the article should reflect Wikipedia's broader audience. skrshawk 00:00, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - Article asserts notability on the basis of being the "3rd oldest hockey club in Scotland," so may be of historical interest. This statement needs a source, however.
  • Weak Delete - Per nom, although can see arguments for keep upon a rewrite. MikeMorley 18:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - If citations can be provided for the age, size, and history of this club I will change my vote. Even if my vote is changed this article will need considerable work. skrshawk 00:00, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since this article has been up on AfD I have seen no effort to address the issues brought up in discussion. Google points to press releases and current games the club is playing with no historical information readily available other than their age. As others have said, this is not notable, and therefore I revise my vote to Delete. skrshawk ( Talk | Contribs ) 03:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, if it were notable it would have sources external to Aberdeen University. Demiurge 16:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No real claims to notability, aside from being voted the best club in their school... Which is nice for them, but doesn't pass WP:Note. Lankybugger 17:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A 103 year old hockey club still in existence is notable. It requires expansion, notabliy historical context, however. Resolute 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A major club in the sport in that region. Most definitely worthy of an entry.

  • Very Weak Conditional Keep should sources be found per WP:V, otherwise delete per nom. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 22:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete - may be notable for 103 years of history. On the other hand they play at the third level in their country, which makes them sound NN. -- Bpmullins | Talk 23:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Age no indicator of notability, plenty of university clubs have been around a long time without achieving anything of note. Nothing to suggest this club is notable, take out the ridiculous namechecking table of past 4th team captains and their compadres and there isn't much at all. Primary subject of multiple, non-trivial coverage in reliable sources? I don't see it. Not too many policy-friendly keep votes here. Deizio talk 01:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I read the article over time and it still fails to assert notability. There is a section on committees that says nothing and includes a lot of names. If the only point is that it has been around for 103 years, then mention this in the school article as its oldest school assuming that fact is correct. Vegaswikian 01:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
