Carleton Ultimate Team

 * – ( View AfD View log )

unremarkable collegiate club team. Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources to meet notability guidelines. RadioFan (talk) 19:31, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Keep Define what remarkable is. They are the reigning national champions, and have accrued 3 national champoinships in the team's history. Both Brown and Virginia have pages, neither is as storied as CUT, and neither has been nominated for deletion.
 * Comment - In sources, USAultimate, the governing body of the sport is cited twice. This page should not be deleted. D.ma.long (talk) 19:52, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you meant to !vote "Keep," the usual convention is to put that word in bold at the beginning of your comment. Also, it's not clear what you mean by your comment about USAultimate being cited twice. --Orlady (talk) 23:39, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. What I mean is that USAultimate.org, the governing body of the sport, is cited twice in the article. D.ma.long (talk) 19:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Carleton College. Maintaining a stand-alone article about an individual team in a club sport is too serious a challenge to justify treating team as a notable topic, but the team definitely should be thoroughly covered in the college article. --Orlady (talk) 23:39, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm satisfied that the three USA Ultimate national championships suffice to establish notability per WP:NSPORTS.   Rich wales (talk · contribs) 03:07, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - They somewhat satisfies the criteria needed as WP:NSPORTS. Eduemo<b style="color:#E57">ni</b><sup style='color:green'>↑talk↓ </b> 16:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm still not seeing this as meeting general notability guidelines. As a section in the university's article, sure, but not a dedicated article.--RadioFan (talk) 03:02, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. The team has been a long time powerhouse in the Ultimate community and is one of the teams that everyone has on their watch list each season. Three national championships, making the finals the past three years, I don't really see your point about this not being notable. Are other club sports televised on CBS? In my opinion, that is a significant sign that this is a notable team.--Wherold (talk) 16:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
