 * Keep. Searching on just the club name is insufficient, as it is an insider-type joke name and doesn't come up in all coverage of the club or its participation in events.  Search on "concrete canoe" and "Illinois" and you get hits like: New York Times "Out of Concrete and Drudgery Come Canoes That Float", Fountain, Henry. New York Times, Late Edition (East Coast) [New York, N.Y] 24 June 2013: A.11., a full article about the last annual concrete canoe competition which Illinois hosted.  Perhaps the article title should be broadened, as the club name is too narrow, and the article seems to be the main article in Wikipedia introducing the bigger topic.  Perhaps this article should be expanded/moved to National Concrete Canoe Competition (currently a redlink).  I see Concrete canoe and I see Christian Brothers University.  This article, anyhow, is a solid, good start and should be Kept.  Expanding/moving/developing related articles should be discussed at its Talk page. -- do  ncr  am  23:26, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
