The result was no consensus. The arguments are all over the place and not really pointing to any conclusion. I suggest waiting a bit before retrying. At this time, there isn't a clear consensus and leaving it open another week isn't likely to change that. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 00:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (organizations) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with the following rationale "remove prod &c.". Which, sadly, doesn't explain anything. Why should we keep this entry of what seems to me is an organization that fails GNG? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:27, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Discussion of specific reliable, secondary sources would help
 * Keep If we have Category:Rowing clubs of the University of Cambridge, then I think we have to accept that each college will have a club, and that each provably existent club belongs on WP. We certainly shouldn't make an editorial choice that only favoured colleges are recorded. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:46, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is only an illustration of how much more YELLOWPAGE-like spam we have to delete. We need to start somewhere. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  19:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The topic passes WP:GNG. See also WP:BEFORE and WP:ATD.  Andrew D. (talk) 23:34, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:ITSNOTABLE is not a valid argument. You need to say why. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 19:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- "One of the youngest and smallest" clubs is not exactly a claim to notability. The article is mostly self-cited & reads like it came from the club's Facebook page. No encyclopedic relevance here. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sourcing may be difficult, because most citations are likely to be only in print. Anyone who thinks that any Cambridge college boat club is non-notable knows nothing about Cambridge University. (Full disclosure: I studied at another college, and had no interest whatsoever in rowing.) Narky Blert (talk) 00:15, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
