[edit] East Doncaster Cricket Club

Well, if Wiki adminers have determined precedent for like sporting clubs, any retort I can offer appears to be a waste of time. However, a couple for your consideration...

Links to the area (Doncaster or East Doncaster) discuss schools, community groups & sporting clubs based throughout the area. Is it not logical for these clubs to then have a wiki presence??

The club has a significant history in the area, which has been documented extensively, and is currently being prepared for release in book format.

The club effects hundreds of individuals & families on a weekly basis.

I don't see the point in ignoring sporting associations that play a prominent part in a local community, and limiting a wiki presence to those that reach a specific "grade". It's easy to state that a club is "Not notable", but by whose reckoning does this apply??

Other than following wiki guideliness that have already been established, I don't think the arguments noted for deletion so far, are at all contructive.

Kind regards, Heater

• This cricket club in is not notable - it is not even at the standard of the Melbourne grade cricket, which is one level below first-class cricket, but is only a team which competes in a lower level in the eastern subregion of Melbourne. It is just a weekend sport club. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:57, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete article fails to state notability. Cbrown1023 00:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Is there a guideline for this? Fouded in 1886 is a bit of a claim to notability, but only four articles on Newsbank in 120 years (3 local) isn't that impressive. Provisional delete. ~ trialsanderrors 01:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Living a hundred year old home doesn't make the home notable. Why would it for anything else? Arbusto 04:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: Many non-league English football clubs are as old this one, and we're agreed that they're not notable. -- Bpmullins 14:26, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No evidence of notability such as participation in main Melbourne grade cricket competition or state/Australian players. May be worth a brief mention in the East Doncaster article. Capitalistroadster 01:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
