I'm unable to find any third-party, independent, reliable sources. Gnews search for "Quarter Club Australia" returned no sources providing significant coverage. Tim Song (talk) 05:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Please note that I have added verifying references Ajhshamley (talk) 12:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it exists. But is it notable? Tim Song (talk) 18:46, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this organization. Joe Chill (talk) 00:23, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have added more verifying references. This Club organizes major fundraising for the South Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes and hence I submit that it is of sufficient notability.Ajhshamley (talk) 06:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's look at those refs:
 * is the textbook definition of a trivial mention. Mentioning "Quarter Club" exactly once.
 * and do not mention "Quarter Club" at all.
 * is a photo album.
 * is a 404. does not mention "quarter club" either. added, Timotheus Canens (talk) 09:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * None of these provide the significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources WP:N and WP:ORG requires. Timotheus Canens (talk) 06:35, 28 December 2009 (UTC) Note for closer: This account is an alternate account of User:Tim Song, the nominator.

 * Delete: as per Tim. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 00:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Please note that I have added additional references and links. I believe that an organisation which raises $250,000 per year for Olympic and Commonwealth Games athletes, with support from Government and major business, can fairly be described as being notable. Ajhshamley (talk) 08:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You added references that says nothing or very little about Quarter Club. Adding a bunch of cats does not help it either. You have yet to demonstrate significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources, or establish that any other criteria listed in WP:ORG apply. Timotheus Canens (talk) 09:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

There are multiple independent and authoritative references, including the South Australian Governor, the Chinese Embassy in Australia and an Adelaide newspaper.Ajhshamley (talk) 09:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * ...that says little or nothing about Quarter Club. Timotheus Canens (talk) 10:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

... and a lot about:

1. the high profile fundraising event, named for the State of South Australia's Premier- the State's Chief Executive Officer;

2. the high profile guests, including the State Governor and Chinese Ambassador;

3. the high profile sponsors, which have lent their names to the organisation; and

4. the high profile chairman

This is a genuine organisation with a high profile in South Australia.The article has been linked to the Olympic and Commonwealth Games categories as it is associated with Olympic and Commonwealth Games fundraising.
