Octavian Droobers

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This club is one of over a hundred UK orienteering clubs (See British Orienteering Website). As far as I can tell, only one other club is listed, and this club is Edinburgh University Orienteering Club, which is (I think) the most successful club in the country. The only references are from the Club's own website, with only one from British Orienteering (which is the same as any other affiliated club, and does not state Octavian Droobers as exceptional). This club does not fit the club notability guideline (as far as I can tell) set out on the Wikipedia Sport Notability guideline section for Orienteering. There is a lot of club history on Wikipedia, but this information is not independently verifiable. I can not find good sources. I would recommend deletion.

 * Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NORG. All I could find in a search were listings in publications by British Orienteering or publications by the group itself; both of which lack independence as sources. Entirely not notable as an organization.4meter4 (talk) 16:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
