The group lacks notability and enough first party coverage in reputed news sources. Shovon (talk) 12:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep seems to just pass WP:N... EnvoyClass (talk) 16:09, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you back that up with anything in particular, or is it just a gut feeling? Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  08:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG, a local group with "50-odd regular members" (per the article) who meet at a high school. If that's notable, then so are millions of local AA meetings, church groups, D&D groups, book clubs, and such all over the world.  Obviously not. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd 
 * Comment Well, probably not the D&D groups. Can you imagine trying to play with 50 players in one group? A fight against a single orc would take 5 hours! - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 16:04, 23 March 2012 (UTC).
 * You'd be surprised. Some of the LARP groups are quite large, and it's not unheard of for them to reach hundreds of members.  The point is there's a lot of fun activities one can join which are not by any measure encyclopedically notable. Hence the WP:ORG guideline.  Oh, and while we're linking to Meetup, this one isn't even large by trivia group standards. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  08:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete obviously not notable, and I'm surprised it wasn't deleted by speedy, as we normally do for school clubs. I suppose it was the refs in The Hindu which are, after all, quite substantial. I think the GNG fails on human interest stories such as this one, and we needn't accept such coverage as notability if it conflicts with common sense. Quite apart from the strictures at NOT NEWS, newspapers cover some types of things that encyclopedias shouldn't--I class it as providing entertainment for the readers.
