Not notable website, Does not pass WP:Corp DXRAW 21:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: I agree. 1 source is from WHOIS, and 2 of them are from the club's website itself. It's not notable enough since there aren't many third party coverage.--Kylohk 21:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has been the subject of wide news coverage in numerous countries. This also confirms that "the scope of activities are national or international in scale" (WP:Corp). --Valmi &#10002; 07:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sorry, this is plain stupid discussion. It is an international project of 200 000 with at least one member in every smaller city in Europe and many others elsewhere in the world. Were it not for the stupid leader who enforces censorship (which unfortunatelly and un-understandably the article doesn't mention), it's an organization whose member base is growing exponentially (and has been for the past years). --hhanke 12:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment but not WP:RS DXRAW 10:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and please add more reliable sources. From the current state where there are 4 references, only 1 source from the CSM newspaper that can be considered as reliable per WP:RS. One goes to its own website, one link to a forum (not-reliable) and one source is trivial (whois). &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 07:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * End this discussion: It is obvious for anybody who knows HC a bit better, that it easily passes the criteria. It is just a matter of adding the sources. If you are in doubt, please do a search in the archives of New York Times, German "Die Zeit", FAZ, Italian television,....

 * OK, I have just done it myself. Added a link to The New York Times, Miami Herald and Frommer's which will surely do as secondary sources and removed the deletion notice.
