The result was   keep. Since the nomination there have been a few sourced calims added...however, it appears they're not independent of the club. That said, consensus here is clear that there are appropriate sources to be had. &mdash; Scientizzle 17:50, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

amateur sports club, no V or RS, but if the information in the article and talk page are true, possibly notable. delete unless supporting references can be provided. UtherSRG (talk) 08:14, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * B.A.C.R.C. is an amateur club simply because rugby amd cricket are both amateur sports in Argentina. All rugby clubs in Argentina are amateurs! It doesn't mean the club is a small club, it isn't. A quick look at their website would convince anyone that there are only amateur in name. The club is the oldest in the country, plays at the top level and has won 10 titles. Member-wise it's also one of the largest clubs in the country and many memebers became full argentinian internationals. I haven't included refs to the article yet nor I have finished writing it but to be honest I've only started the article less than 12 hours ago. Yet it has already been marked for deletion by 2 different people. Neither of which know anything about rugby as far as I can tell. Talk about jumping the gun... Now, 2 other top level clubs don't have a page yet and I'm going to create them. Before I do, methinks trigger happy deletionists need to take their chill pill.

 * Keep. The Google News archive search helpfully linked in the nomination reveals plenty of independent reliable sources with substantial coverage. I must go to bed now so don't have time to add any of the sources to the article, so maybe the nominator would like to help out with the collaborative effort to build this encyclopedia rather than continually trying to knock down others' efforts to do so?

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep One thing I find annoying is deletionists using the "amateur club" angle as an excuse to delete a page, If that's true, then delete Queen's Park F.C. once you've done this one. As for the page, as Phil Bridger said, there are plenty of suitible sources that warrent this page to be on Wikipedia. The C of E.          God Save The Queen! (talk) 17:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, The word amateur is lost in translation. In some sports there is no professionalism, or professionalism has occured only recently. This is a very strong keep as there is nothing wrong with amateur clubs, players, unions and teams within the sport of rugby union. This article is supported by WikiProject Rugby union.
