Borough of Wandsworth Rifle Club

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable club. Hundreds of such clubs exist in the UK, and I cannot see why this one is particularly notable. Other than Wikipedia mirrors and some directories, can only find one external source about the club here.

Article is also completely unsourced and has been since 2009. Elshad (talk) 13:15, 25 December 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Comment: The article has been largely unsourced since its inception, but that does not appear to be for want of extant sources. A search of the British Newspaper Archive turns up more than 100 articles, out of which a strong Wikipedia article could undoubtedly be built. As for the claim that "Hundreds of such clubs exist in the UK, and I cannot see why this one is particularly notable", the first sentence of the article appears to hold the answer: "the Borough of Wandsworth Rifle Club is one of the oldest clubs belonging to the National Small-bore Rifle Association". Indeed, it appears to date to 1903. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
