Whitehorse Curling Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable sports club. It gets some passing local press coverage, but there's no sign of the broad in-depth coverage in several significant, independent, reliable and secondary sources required by WP:NCORP. Article created by a now-indeffed paid editor, appears to be undisclosed paid editing in violation of our Terms of Use. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete - Wasn't able to find any significant coverage dealing with the subject of the page and despite the fact that I believe it would make a killer name for a rock band, the Whitehorse Curling Club has got to go, as it fails to clear WP:NCORP. PraiseVivec (talk) 13:15, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is by far the most important curling club in the Yukon, and has sent countless teams to national championships including the Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the most important curling tournaments in the world.-- Earl Andrew - talk 14:40, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any evidence that anyone outside of Whitehorse Yukon even knows this club exists (aside from the 4 of us who have now participated in this AfD). Earl Andrew, do you have any evidence that they have sent "countless teams" to national championships?  Because I didn't see any in my online search. Rockphed (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This is an archive of Curling Canada's major competitions. Click on almost any of the results and the team from the Yukon (if there is one) will almost always be from this club.-- Earl Andrew - talk 01:16, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:NCURLING says that athletes who participate in the Briar or the Tournament of Hearts are presumed notable, but it does not apply to the clubs from whence those athletes come. Looking at The Brier, I am not even convinced that participating there is a good indicator of passing GNG since many of the athlete names are red links, and that is just on the top 2 or 3 teams. On my lookthrough of possible sources, I found a few local pieces (at places like "whatsupyukon") and some passing mentions (I didn't find the one you show, but it is also a passing reference).  I stand by my implication that nobody outside of Whitehorse Yukon would do anything except blink in confusion at hearing this name. Rockphed (talk) 13:42, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
