Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article is about a collegiate rugby club—and the word club is key here, because rugby is not a varsity sport—and does not cite any independent reliable sources. The article has been tagged for improvement for a year and a half, so the lack of sourcing is indicative that the team does not meet the general notability guidelines. Further, there's no evidence of specific notability for winning a national championship tournament or the like. —C.Fred (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, no independent reliable sources are present, and none are likely to appear. The chances of a university sports club (in the American sense, as C.Fred notes) being notable are virtually nothing.  Nyttend (talk) 04:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
