Manchester Canoe Club

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable local club, with no references or assertion of notability per WP:N. The lone external link is the club's own site. Though based on what the article states the club is 75 years old, age, especially without outside references, does not grant notability. Hellno2 (talk) 16:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand— The club receives a decent amount of relevant hits from Google, and it being one of the biggest canoe clubs in England makes it notable under this. The only thing this article needs in expansion. Leonard^Bloom (talk) 17:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to River Goyt. It's where they operate out of. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 04:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand - The club was key to the founding of the British Canoe Union and is still one of the major UK clubs. String -Bean 14:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by String-bean (talk • contribs)
 * Keep. I have put a reference in the article to the club's role in founding the British Canoe Union. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Didn't know it was a founder member of the BCU, but as such is notable. Might need some tweeks as there are a couple of promoy bits but nothing overly POV.--Nate1481(t/c) 11:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
