Draft:Dublin Swimming Club


Draft from last year. The article alleges that this is Dublin's oldest swimming club but the only sources at the bottom indicated are certain individuals who don't seem to be a reliable source. Ricky81682 (talk) 10:27, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, tentatively. It is surely sourced from something not indicated. The original author was a drive-by one-day editor, but might know something about it. Should be investigated further before being deleted. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:20, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Notified A876 at User_talk:A876. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:40, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * When cruising into this stray draft article (don't ask how I found it), I thought it significant or noteworthy. It felt better to nurture it (fix it up or wikify it) than to ignore it (non-production) or nominate it for deletion (counter-production & waste of resources). (See also Drafts; there is some sentiment there toward nurturing.) I had hoped to inspire further action by the club member[s] or friends, but they must be too busy swimming, or hesitant to edit against CoI, or they haven't stumbled upon this article (in Draft:), which is inherently "orphaned" (has no Wikipedia links in). My temptation is to promote it to [Article] space and see what happens, hoping that the fixers will fix this significant (but imperfect) article before the deleters destroy this significant article (for being imperfect). The body might be a little too thorough, but deciding and pruning (if necessary) is hard for me. Just now I have added a few links-OUT from early members who happened to be titled (this provides some backdoor links in, under "What links here" of the linked-to articles). I added {Infobox swim team}, and two categories, which might feed some traffic. Also their web site. (I've never been to Ireland. On the rare occasions I'm in a pool, I only swim short distances.) -A876 (talk) 10:07, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is something I'd genuinely like to see be improved and turned in to an actual article, If is happy to work on it and source it appropriately then I see no reason for it be deleted atm. – Davey 2010 Talk 13:33, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
