Cookham Reach Sailing Club

The article is promotional and reads like an advertisement. As for sourcing, it is mostly Cookham itself. News searches find local articles. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:54, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Per WP:NOTADVERTISING. The only reference is the subject's website, and the article does not read like an encyclopedic entry. -- Puzzledvegetable |💬|📧|📜 15:04, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:NOTADVERTISING. I read other Wiki entries for sailing clubs before creating this page and structured it in the same way, providing the same sort of information. When the article is about a club it is hard not to write an article about the club without including "advertising" information, because that is the nature of the organisation - information about it provides detail about what it does. Reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ship_Club. If you believe I need to change the content format, please can you suggest what I change? I will add more external references to the club as suggested. ...James

 * Delete - Regardless of whether or not the article has promotional issues, the club itself does not appear to be notable. Of the sources present in the article already, the first five are unusable to establish notability - they're either from the club's own website, or simply directory entries for locations and/or events.  The sixth one is more substantial, but does not actually talk about the club itself at all - it is entirely about an event that took place there.  I did some searches for more sources, and was unable to find anything substantial.  The few results that come up are either just passing mentions, from extremely local sources, or, most often, a combination of both. Based on these results, this club does not appear to pass the WP:GNG.  Rorshacma (talk) 15:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
