Grove Rugby

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

College club team (not a varsity team) with no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There's no evidence this achieves any level of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 03:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: Rugby Union team that was established in 1994 is verifiable and meets notability requirements of WP:ORG. Moorsmur (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * How on earth does being founded in 1994 make it notable? I'm sure that we've deleted as unnotable cricket teams that were founded in or before 1794. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:41, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. There are a couple of hits for a Grove RFC in Grove, Oxfordshire, but that's not this Grove Rugby club. Changing the search string to "Grove City Rugby" (the name used by the references in the article) gets no gNews hits at all, and Google hits are for people looking to play rugby in Grove City, Ohio. I'm not even sure that the Oxfordshire club is notable, but this Pennsylvania club gets no coverage at all from reliable sources. Current sources on the page prove that the club exists, but do not demonstrate notability and are not reliable, independent sources. » scoops “ 5x5  „ 03:14, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Scoops; no coverage, just because it exists doesn't make it a notable sports club. tedder (talk) 17:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
