Comment: there is a small section about this rowing club at FC Lausanne-Sport. Perhaps we should merge there instead. Paul Vaurie (talk) 12:22, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NOLYMPICS "Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the modern Olympic Games, " while there are not rules specific to rowing clubs, my reading of the other language page indicates they competed in the Moscow Olympic Games 1980 Summer Olympics which would make them notable. There is no doubt the article needs work, but the subject seems notable. Jeepday (talk) 18:16, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but not because of the Olympics subject-specific notability guideline. While athletes are indeed presumed to be notable if they compete at the Olympics, the article seems to be referring to Bernard Destraz, not the club itself (see Rowing at the 1980 Summer Olympics – Men's single sculls). The teams SNG states that "Since notability is not inherited, the notability of an athlete does not imply the notability of a team or club, or vice versa." The club appears to meet the general notability guideline due to coverage here, here, and here. (I'm aware that that's two different organisations as opposed to three, but I expect that more offline sources can be found due to its significance in Swiss rowing. I'd personally argue two is enough here, given the significant coverage). Sdrqaz (talk) 01:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
