Non notable sports club. No references at all although the article has been around since 2008. Fails WP:NSPORT. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 11:56, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The relevant notability guideline for this article about a sports club is WP:ORG, not WP:NSPORT, a guideline that should not "apply to sports clubs and teams; for these the specific notability guideline is WP:ORG." Thanks for putting this article on my radar. There are several sources out there about this club, especially since it has been around since 1823. I'll see if I can improve it and add sources to support the statements that are already there. Although this is not a valid keep argument, please notice that many articles in Category:Rowing clubs in England and Category:Rowing clubs in the United States are old, stubs, and/or not well-sourced, including Los Gatos Rowing Club for example. - tucoxn\^talk 03:56, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've also posted a comment on the talk page of WP:WikiProject Rowing... perhaps they'll be interested in improving the article. - tucoxn\^talk 04:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject does not meet WP:ORG; all three refs available online are only passing mentions. Miniapolis 17:59, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete fails WP:ORG. Coverage refers mainly to people involved with club rather than actual coverage of the club. LibStar (talk) 10:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
