The result was keep. No one except the nominator has argued for the article's deletion. That said, while the keep arguments are compelling, they aren't compelling. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:34, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Globe Rowing Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable club. Speedy deletion declined based on the rationale "a club that has been around that long [since 1923] should have some sources." But alas, none to be found. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, if for nothing else making the Guiness Book of Records in 1983 for the greatest distance paddled in a bath tub. SpinningSpark 14:10, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment In general, I think you'll find that holding a Guinness record does not, in itself, constitute sufficient notability for inclusion at Wikipedia, especially when the record is for something as trivial as "greatest distance paddled by hand."

 * Yes, but it's in a bathtub. SpinningSpark 19:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * and by the way, 60 miles is not a trivial distance with any method of paddling. SpinningSpark 19:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I probably would have cast an !vote for delete, but I like SpinningSpark's rationale too much.--Rpclod (talk) 02:16, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This club appears to have a long history and to have made a considerable impact on rowing in east of London. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  20:14, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Multiple references are used in the article. The subject appears in multiple sources, and thus is notable. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 05:49, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, passes WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I would argue that the citations, though numerous, are not significant. Many are mentions in passing in articles about other topics, others are local coverage or mere results listings. Still others are primary sources, first person accounts of time in the club, etc. I'm not seeing that this coverage makes this a notable club. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:25, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
