Cardiff University Korfball Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Despite the claims in the opening paragraph, this has to be put in the context of Korfball being an obscure and relatively unknown sport. There is no news coverage at all that I can find online about this university club. A lot of the 'Hall of fame' list seems to be a copyvio of the Pitchero website. All in all this Wikipedia article seems to be a handy webpage for a club that doesn't even have its own website. Fails WP:GNG' Sionk (talk) 20:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non-notable British university sports club team. Subject club team does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for sports team, clubs, companies, and other organizations per WP:ORG, nor the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources.  Of the footnoted sources presently included, they are hodge-podge of the university newspaper for the parent university, korfball leagues in which the subject club is a member, the korfball governing bodies, several blogs, and the team webpage.  There is not an independent reliable source among them.  Which is exactly what I would expect for a British college sports club team (not a varsity team, mind you) for a fairly obscure and minor sport.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
