Velo Club Monterey
Delete. Not notable except for one famous member. &mdash; Fingers-of-Pyrex 19:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Being notable is not a requirement for addition, nor is lack of notability a justification for deletion.  Please correct me if I'm missing something about Wiki policies.  --Serge 18:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That depends on who you ask. Some editors consider lack of notability a justification and others do not. However, you've failed to explain the importance or significant of VCM. There are a ton of cycling clubs. How is this different from any other? howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 19:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nom. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
 * Keep. What's the definition of "notable"?  Google returns 565 pages for a "Velo Club Monterey" search. --Serge 20:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That link you provided gives only 377 hits. But if you page through it, you'll find only 83 unique hits. howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 22:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Have a look at Notability. - Mgm|(talk) 11:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The requirement for notability in an article is a proposed policy, which is quite contentious. In particular, there is no consensus that lack of notability is ever a basis for deletion.  Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia with the associated resource constraints.  Creating a stub on a topic for others to expand on later is standard Wiki.  What's the problem? --Serge 20:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, you asked for a definition of notability, which is what you were given. However, you still have the barrier of verification to overcome. howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 00:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
