Weak keep (COI warning - I used to be an officer in the equivalent Cambridge club, but I've been on Wikipedia long enough to understand Wikipedia policies) The club has been subject to coverage by reliable sources (even though they aren't referenced in the article). For example, I am sure that, with enough time, I could dig out other independent references as well (as well as a huge number from student newpapers etc). Bluap (talk) 03:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Comment I have added the above sources to the article, and have also found more coverage in a 1989 women's magazine. I hope that 3 national newspapers, 1 regional newspaper, 1 glossy magazine, 1 regional new website, and 1 television documentary is enough to give notability. I should point out that this is ongoing coverage over a period of more than 15 years, not simply coverage of a single news item.

 * Keep - sources adequately fulfil WP:RS to  assert notability. Kudpung (talk) 15:13, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Enough sources and material to pass WP's standards of notability. A person reading the article will definitely know more about the subject than before. Borock (talk) 00:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It looks as if the sources now get it over the line. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  01:55, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
