The Syndicate[edit]

A student group at Oxford. Nominating along with The Syndicate (St Edmund Hall, Oxford), an article on the same group. Perhaps it could be put in St Edmund Hall article instead, but it's not deserving of its own article. Metros232 15:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with extreme prejudice. -- GWO

Delete both. Once there is an article or section about the Oxford crew, the material can be incorporated there. B.Wind 19:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See OUBC. But this doesn't belong there. See below -- GWO

Delete. I've yet to find anyone who admits to having heard of it. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- an explanation is in order. During Oxford's terms, there is some serious intercollegiate rowing that takes place. However, there are also many more low quality races before the main events, in which a great many social crews with silly names compete, usually as an excuse to go out and drink heavily the following night. This is one such crew, from literally hundreds each year. (I still have my crew shirt with "Demon Axe Warriors From Oblivion" on it, somewhere). Anyhow, they're not associated with the Boat Race crew OUBC in any way, besides using the same stretch of water. Fun, really excellent muscle-tearing drunken fun, but not notable. -- GWO

Delete per above. —Khoikhoi 02:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
