Liverpool University Boat Club

I cannot find significant coverage for this club, it could easily be merged with the university's page.  — fetch ·  comms   22:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Response
Other university clubs have their own pages, despite similar lack of coverage in the press. I don;t see why this should be any different. Please see the page on University rowing (UK) for a full list of similar clubs that receive similar or less coverage than LUBC. Please reconsider...

 * I came here wanting to !vote "neutral, leaning towards merge", but this article consists of three sentences with no refs. Fails WP:RS as such.  Further, when we've merged club articles into school articles in the past, it results in undue weight, as the club that formerly had an article becomes a section in the school article whereas other clubs lack sections.  So, delete.  Heather (talk) 15:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete There certainly are a bucket load of other University Rowing Clubs listed on the page cited by Slide89. However, WP:ATHLETE has clear guidelines for amateur sports, which this club probably doesn't meet.  Most of the other University clubs wouldn't meet them either, probably, but e.g. the Trevelyan College article (to pick one at random) was created back in 2007, probably before WP:ATHLETE reached its current form? Also, look at WP:OTHERSTUFF David V Houston (talk) 12:07, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no secondary sources treat the topic. Similar non-notable student clubs have always fared poorly at AfD. Abductive  (reasoning) 01:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
