Bournemouth university boat club

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is about a non-notable school rowing club that appears to have no history of significant achievement and no great presence in the realm of British riparian athletics. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:31, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This page is actually about an up-and-coming university rowing club within the UK - it deserves to be on here just as much as any other uk university rowing club. (talk) 21:24, 20 July 2008 preceding comment added by Jamiel46

 * Delete. As Jamiel46 says, the club is "up and coming". When it has arrived it will have a place on Wikipedia. Until such time it fails WP:ORG. Sorry. nancy  (talk) 20:33, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment According to the article, the club was founded in 1993. Fifteen years is a bit much for an "up-and-coming" club, yes? Ecoleetage (talk) 21:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * comment Normally we quickly delete individual college clubs of various sorts, but this one seems to essentially be the B.U. rowing team, and corresponding to a university sports team in the US sense. So I'm not sure what criteria apply. I removed a speedy A8 it without prejudice one way or another, to see what people thought. No opinion myself on the merits. DGG (talk) 21:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - (1) This is a University club, not a "school". (2) If deleted then ALL College American Football team article should also be deleted.  I am fed up with finding university clubs and societies nomimated for AFD.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Vandal alert Please note that an IP vandal attempted to delink this article from the AfD queue. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. What's notable about a university club? Unless someone can show they are somehow above average or notable for some reason, I don't see how this can be kept. Peterkingiron's suggestion of deleting all College American Football team articles (except those that have some notability, of course) is excellent, but putting in that many AfD tags will be a heck of a lot of work... :-) Oh and by the way, together with three friends at the University of Bordeaux here we just founded a darts club, can we have our own article now, please? --Crusio (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Bournemouth University - the page fails WP:ORG lacking reliable secondary sources and cannot survive in its present form. TerriersFan (talk) 03:04, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete club makes no claim of notability. Do not redirect, do not merge; no reliable sources. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 05:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
