Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manx Fencibles (badminton club)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Consensus is clear. The mere association of the organization for individuals who were notable regardless of their association with it does not lift the organization itself into notability. bd2412 T 20:00, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Manx Fencibles (badminton club)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable organization, lack of GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Retain - If the rationale of deleting this article applies (and of course no rationale is given by the proposer), then in my opinion it applies to the vast majority of Badminton clubs on Wikipedia Tennis and Badminton Club of Reykjavik, Majestic Badminton Club, Københavns Badminton Klub. The articles regarding other Badminton Clubs for example, could not be described as any more 'notable' than the article discussed so therefore any description in the context of the proposed deletion is very much flawed. The article is part of the Category:Badminton clubs and as such fits the context of the category. The article also conforms to the WikiProject Isle of Man. It would appear the 'proposal' comes from nothing more than a haughty laziness from the proposer. Harvey Milligan (talk) 15:40, 6 November 2017. (UTC)
 * This is an other article exists argument, generally weak. Szzuk (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, as a non notable sports organisation. As per the above comment by User:Harvey Milligan, some of those other articles are also candidates for AfD. Ajf773 (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Roberta Cannell from the Fencibles Badminton Club participated in the 1982 Commonwealth Games, Ann Corlett in the 1970 Games, Cristen Callow in the 2010 Games. Florentyna (talk) 23:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability isn't inherited. Szzuk (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per Florentyna. Stvbastian (talk) 06:50, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. One ref giving the clubs address. Could have been prod probably. Szzuk (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - based on template removal examples here and here, it's unlikely a Prod would have been worthwhile, IMO.-Semperito (talk) 15:25, 19 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Well it is at least added with 3 individual references now, allthough Christen Callow are also known as Christen Marritt according to added reference. Migrant (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Further Comment These are non-references breaching WP:SYNTH as the source does not confirm the individual competitor's association with the Fencibles club at the time of the events.-Semperito (talk) 18:35, 21 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete One generic/collective primary source only, with unsourced-expansion and new-heading by notability template-remover (do I need to unsourced section it?), it's simply a (hobby) promotion-piece for the Isle of Man, a tiny 35x10 mile sea-locked island, not even comparable to the major areas of Iceland or Copenhagen (emphasising this is EN Wkipedia, so strange comparisons drawn?). There are also potential issues with the title (spuriously including) "Manx Fencibles", as this is not the name of the organisation depicted at the website per WP:COMMON NAME, so another possible indication of promotion. Unlikely to gain any significant secondary sources other than to those circulated in/from Isle of Man, IMO. The originator has boasted of creating some 200+ articles (I only arrived here as their Talk-page is on my Watchlist), so presumably knows-well what the basic requirement/test for notability is - this should be at Facebook, IMO, as not encyclopedic.-Semperito (talk) 16:20, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG. EMachine03 (talk) 14:00, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Also, as Szzuk states above, notability is not inherited and we're debating this article, not comparing it to others. Ifnord (talk) 17:45, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not seeing anything aside from routine local promotional coverage. Fails WP:RS and WP:GNG. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  18:25, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient coverage of any depth or persistence to amount to little more than, as suggested above, WP:ROUTINE. &mdash; fortuna  velut luna Rarely receiving (many) pings. Bizarre. 19:14, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
