Rugby Lions

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Team plays in the Midlands 5 West (South), which is a Level 10 English Rugby Union League. Now I don't know much about Rugby, but that doesn't sound very high. The Lions are the only team in the league to have a Wikipedia Page, and the entire team is made up of links to people with similar names or DAB pages, save for the "notable players" that have moved up through the ranks. kelapstick(bainuu) 18:30, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep – look at their history. Notably club per WikiProject Rugby union/Notability 2011–12 season, the Lions won the National League 3 Midlands  Hamish59 (talk) 20:03, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - looks notable under project notability and under WP:GNG as has multiple sources available. Keith D (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - seems notable enough. While the club may have fallen on hard times and had to restart at the bottom, they previously played in National League 2 South, a much higher league -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
