Non-notable, non-NCAA sanctioned club team. No significant coverage in independent reliable sources found. James (talk/contribs) 22:52, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

California Lightweight Crew has been a state university-sanctioned club sports team at the University of California, Berkeley for decades. The fact that the team is not NCAA-sanctioned is irrelevant to the current significance of this team’s history or future. Please define ‘notable’ and ‘reliable’ in your nomination. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kickthebcket (talk • contribs) 02:44, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Defined: "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."
 * "'Reliable' means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability."

Keep. Although I see James' point, I agree with Kickthebcket that "...the team is not NCAA-sanctioned is irrelevant to the current significance of this team’s history or future". Best, House1090 (talk) 00:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC).


 * Keep I agree with Kickthebcket as well. Bythebooklibrary (talk) 22:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC) — WP:SOCKSTRIKE. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: That part of the nomination statement is irrelevant is not a good reason to keep an article. Anyways, let's give it another week to see if anyone can find WP:RS
 * Keep I agree with and . = paul2520 (talk) 18:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree that NCAA sanctioning is neither here nor there. However, there is no significant independant coverage (keeping in mind WP:ROUTINE) that establishes notability. And the topic does not pass any of the 3 requirements in WP:NCOLLATH. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 22:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - a quick search turns up little coverage suggesting notability, beyond the Daily Cal piece. []. Most of the current sources are race results.  Amateur organizations fall under WP:ORG, and under that, race results are excluded per WP:ORGDEPTH. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  00:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - I don't see a sufficient number of independent, authoritative references to support notability. Competition results do not qualify.--Rpclod (talk) 02:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
