Adelaide University Lacrosse Club
This is a (amateur/social) university lacrosse club. No sporting notability is present. It appears to be old and was formed by a Nobel-prize winner in Physics, which may be interesting trivia, but is not related to Bragg's notability as a physicist but rather which sport he might have enjoyed when he wasn't doing physics. I prodded it, it was speedily redirected by User:Cyberjunkie, and restored to its orginal state by the author, who appears to be the club preseident.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge with Adelaide University Sports Association. I can some verifiable material about this club given that the Australian Government claims that it is the second oldest in South Australia. and the South Australian Government notes that it was founded in 1889. . Its connection with Bragg is confirmed in his entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography entry here see . The information in the article cannot be expanded unless you add the fact that play a yearly match against Melbourne University's lacrosse team is worth a mention. There aren't many clubs that can claim to have been founded by a Nobel Prize winner. Alternatively, it should be merged with the article covering all sports clubs at Adelaide Uni.

 * Merge. Ive merged this and Adelaide University Boat Club into Adelaide University Sports Association, but I haven't redirected the original articles yet. They can both be redirected once this debate has run it's course. Kevin 10:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The honest truth As a relative novice to things wikipedia I am disappointed by the autocratic nature of the original decision to delete the Adelaide Uni Lacrosse Club article. The original proponent of deleting the article seems to have not considered alternatives to deletion. I must admit this has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding wikipedia. Thank you to Capitalistroadster et al who seem to have more compassion. Ozdaren 11:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
