A PROD was reverted without improvement. This article has been a COPVIO from the club's website. The SPA who wrote it found no reliable independent sources since 2008. It appears on social media sites including Yelp, but no independent reliable sources even today. No value to WP to replicate the promotion from the club's site.

 * Delete - created by a single purpose account, and my searches online didn't reveal anything worth writing about other than the promotional content already in place. Its already listed at List of rowing clubs in Australia which is a minefield of red links in itself. -- Longhair\talk 11:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Notable for what it was in the 19th century rather than what it is today. See e.g. coverage in Trove. Comfortably passes the general notability guideline. Jenks24 (talk) 11:25, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep While a lot of the TROVE content is routine sports events results reporting, there are many thousands of hits, it should be possible to write a more in-depth article.  There are hits on annual general meetings, coaching staff and policy, etc.  SPA creation - yes - but a single one off edit, and it has had a few editors since.  The declined PROD was only yesterday - they might come back?  Overall regardless of article ancestry seems to be more than enough WP:NEXIST to support WP:GNG.

 * Keep. The more than 100,000 Trove hits and the historical interest going back a century and a half make this a keep, in my opinion. Article obviously needs some care and citations. SunChaser (talk) 10:16, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment The article is about 90% copyvio, which I think someone will be along shortly to rev-delete.198.58.171.47 (talk) 22:03, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
