 * Keep - we should have "Rugby union in ____" articles for all countries and dependencies, assuming there is actually something to write about, which in this case there is. 86.164.110.80 (talk) 14:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That may be your personal opinion, but it is not in keeping with Wikipedia's notability standards. If you want to try to get the notability guidelines changed in that way then you are free to start a discussion on the issue, but this AfD will be decided on the basis of current policies and guidelines, so it is unlikely that the closing administrator will give much weight to the suggestion. If you want the article kept you need to give evidence that the subject is notable according to the present guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:16, 18 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete No evidence of notability. The article says that Rugby union in Curaçao is a "minor" sport, and the whole tone of the article suggests that it is not yet notable. No independent sources are cited at all. My searches have produced little in independent sources beyond passing mentions. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:16, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
