Windsor Cricket Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable club according to standards on WP:CRIN. StAnselm (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:CRIN isn't a Wikipedia guideline or policy and shouldn't be cited as a reason for deletion. The relevant guideline is WP:N - "significant coverage in reliable independent sources" - which it meets through sources here, here, and here, among others. - DustFormsWords (talk) 09:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The first link was from 1924, whereas the club described in the article formed in 1995. The other two are from the Royal Borough Observer, which is a (non-notable) local newspaper - and therefore not an independent source. StAnselm (talk) 09:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll pay you that the 1924 link is pretty clearly an accidental synthesis on my part. But for the Royal Borough Observer, there's no requirement for a reliable source to be either notable or non-local.  Generally speaking local notability is still notability. - DustFormsWords (talk) 09:11, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, as to the first link, it looks like it's talking about one of the clubs that contributed to the merger. As to local newspapers - in Melbourne, where I live, virtually every sporting team at every level is reported in a local newspaper. So, seeing the guideline (but not policy) of restricting ourselves to grade-level teams, that seemed to go along with restricting coverage to city-wide newspapers. Which is probably a circular argument... StAnselm (talk) 09:28, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, and WP:ORG says that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability." StAnselm (talk) 09:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep The club is an amalgamation of clubs with a longer history and several name changes. The nomination does not seem to have engaged with the topic in detail - it's just a cookie cutter drive-by with no basis in policy. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:58, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
