 * Delete. There is not enough coverage to show notability to this league. The following related pages should be bundled for deletion (I'm not sure if protocol allows someone other than the original nominator to bundle them): 2010 Ontario Rugby League season, 2011 Ontario Rugby League season, 2014 Ontario Rugby League season, Niagara Bobcats, and Toronto City Saints.

 * I feel Ontario Rugby Union should be its own AfD. The other articles all relate to the ORLC and make sense to be bundled, but Rugby Union and Rugby League are two distinct sports. I'm fine with deleting the Rugby League articles, however I oppose the deletion of the ORU article, as it's the top-level governing body of the sport in Ontario. While you're correct that searching "Ontario Rugby Union" verbatim does not produce much, searching the championship name, and trophy name, shows wide coverage:

 * this should be listed in its own AfD. LibStar (talk) 04:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep the article on the Ontario Rugby Union. As a sub-union of Rugby Canada, it is considered part of a 'High Performance Rugby Union' as referenced in NRU . While that guideline refers to sports persons, it stands to reason that if a person is considered notable, the provincial governing body of the sport itself is notable. Google brings up a great deal more information if you search by the more commonly used name of the ORU: 'Rugby Ontario' https://www.google.ca/#tbm=nws&q=%22Rugby+Ontario%22 SkyGuy747 (talk) 22:09, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Oppose (Keep) — per reasons given by Grande and SkyGuy. Barryjjoyce (talk) 04:21, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete all Rugby league is a very low level amateur game in Canada. any competition also has that status. LibStar (talk) 04:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed; delete the rugby league articles, but keep the rugby union one, Ontario Rugby Union. They shouldn't have been included in the same AfD. Grande (talk) 14:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Ontario Rugby Union, delete the rest. That is not even the same sport as the rest.-MacRùsgail (talk) 19:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - This article is on rugby league which is not the same sport as rugby union. I am therefore removing it from the rugby union deletion listing and replacing it with rugby league. -MacRùsgail (talk) 19:20, 9 January 2015 (UTC) [edit to add - No I'm not - I see the nominator has listed an RU article amongst the RL ones. NOT THE SAME SPORT!!!]
