Previously deleted via AfD, this is an amateur sporting club that still doesn't show notability. Requests to add reliable sources to show notability have been removed from the page a number of times. The current links are almost entirely to the organisations own webpages, but the two that might be independent seem to consist of what looks like a university essay (currently link 2) and a broken link regarding a claimed record held by a member of the club (currently link 17). I've had a quick look for sources myself but haven't found anything that I would consider to satisfy our guidlines. Camw (talk) 08:20, 17 May 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep I have read about the Meraloma club in books about Canadian football, and for several decades, they competed in the playoffs for the Grey Cup, before it was limited to the teams that are now in the CFL. The list in one of the links  shows that a large number of future CFL players played for this club before going pro, so it's fairly significant as amateur teams go.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete I checked several of its links, and they do not indicate notability. If a secondary source said that methods used at the club produced a significantly above-average performance (the alleged members who became professional), then an article would be warranted. At the moment, it's just like any of the zillions of large sporting clubs around the world. Johnuniq (talk) 08:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
