- Keep: The team has placed and IRA National Intercollegiate Rowing Championships. The highest level in American College Rowing. To help others out, I have provided a link to the official team site at the university’ athletic web page and the history of the team from the university web page. The above links I would considered reliable primary source. At first I was little concerned about it not having 3rd party Independent sources. But I found the Seattle Times does a pretty good job covering the team. I found several hundred articles when I did a search of Pacific Lutheran Rowing. Note: the majority of links are useless but there is a lot of good information on the team, races, alumni and even a tie to Ted Turner and Cold War politics. [1]. With this coverage and I think this article makes the threshold of notability (but it very close).09er (talk) 15:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep as sources appear sufficiently abundant. Failing that, merge to Pacific Lutheran University Jclemens (talk) 22:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It might better idea to redirect and merge into a new article called Pacific Lutheran University Athletics. If the article is merged into Pacific Lutheran University the rowing info would dominate the whole article. 09er (talk) 14:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A merge/redirect to Pacific Lutheran University Athletics would have the same problem in that the rowing will dominate the article. It will also create a disconnect between the article title and the content of the article. Otherwise, I think its a good idea, and I guess the article would have to wait to get filled out. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- No comment on the notability, but if it's kept shouldn't it be renamed Pacific Lutheran University Crew?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
