Essex Blades men's lacrosse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacrosse teams are rarely notable, university teams even less so. The refs aren't anything - news or university webpages. The women's team is also up for deletion - HERE Szzuk (talk) 21:29, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - with a few odd historical exceptions like the Boat Race, university sport in the UK is pretty much non-notable, with no coverage outside the institution, and that would definitely be true for such a minor sport as lacrosse. I doubt many students at the university are even aware that it has a lacrosse team..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - in the UK compared with for example the US, university sports teams, with limited exceptions mainly some Oxbridge teams, attract little public interest or media coverage. This team is no exception and doesn't meet WP:NSPORT or WP:GNG. The Whispering Wind (talk) 23:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
