Not professional - seems it should be deleted or merged to university article. 2 other users have nominated for deletion using speedy and prod. There are arguments for notability, but it needs proper discussion. Boleyn (talk) 19:21, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm not sure why not being professional is a reason for deletion in a sport where the top club level (where this club plays) is (as far as I'm aware) not fully professional. I'm not an expert on hockey but given that the UK has more than one magazine dedicated to hockey, I would imagine that one of the top clubs would have enough coverage to be considered notable according to the GNG, even for those for whom just being one of the country's top-level clubs with a team that according to their website includes three current England internationals - two of them GB internationals isn't enough. Here is a search on one of those magazines' website. --Michig (talk) 21:12, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Student clubs have to be very notable to be worth having an article on. In non-professional sports, the clubs of the top league might be notable, but often it will be better only to have an article on the league.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:24, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ORG or redirect to the university article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  03:25, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. While the lead does assert notability, there are no reliable sources to support this claim. I don't see why this student club deserves an article while most others don't. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * keep, it's in the top tier of the league FFS and has heaps of current and former internationals. If that isn't, then I don't know what is. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
