Rotary Club Moscow International

This article was prodded before but the tag was removed. There is no assertion of notability, at least what would make it different from other thousands of clubs that don't have their own articles on WP. Could be mentioned in the article about music competition though. Tone 23:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * question In general I really dislike these articles for local branches of clubs, as i think they add nothing to the encyclopedia-- the main organisation invariably has a web site which can much better accommodate this sort of information. Looking at this article, because of the distinctive circumstance,this one might just be notable. Can someone find English or Russian sources?  DGG (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG. I'm open to a demonstration of notability for individual branches, but almost by mission, every Rotary Club in the world is doing something similar (and I've been a member of a Rotary-affiliated organization, and my father was a Rotarian for years). I simply don't think it's encyclopedic to treat the individual clubs with this level of detail. It's especially an invitation for NN redlinks. --Dhartung | Talk 08:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I had the list of members in mind--otherwise i wouldnt have thought twice. DGG (talk) 17:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It is a common tradition of Rotary clubs to have ambassadors as members, as far as I know. So this does not add to notability significantly. As for the mucical competition, the club is already mentioned in the article as its founder, it's enough. --Tone 17:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * And I had the President, Josef Marous, in mind. I'm not sure that "head of the Representation of ThyssenKrupp AG in Russia" is really notable. Depends on whether that translates into president of a national-level subsidiary. --Dhartung | Talk 19:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- I agree with Dhartung, we can't list every rotary club in the world. --SSman07 (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
