[edit] Cambridge University Gaelic Athletic Club
Deletion nomination Encyclopedically non-notable university sports club. Gaelic sports are not a major sport at Cambridge. Makes dubious claim of connection with 19th century patron of GAA but club only started in 1995. College/varsity sports in UK nowhere near as important as college sports in US (and this club is for a very minor sport in the UK too) but still I'm taking this to afd rather than speedy delete due to club's participation in university gaelic sports league and the BUSA championships, whatever that may be - seeing if any gaelic sports fans want to argue for encyclopedic notability here Bwithh 13:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

- Delete: University sport in the UK is (in general) non-notable, and there's no indication here that this club rises above that (BUSA is the British Universities Sports Association into which essentially any University can compete); for what it's worth, I was a student at Cambridge for 8 years and never heard of this lot. --Pak21 16:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. The mention of Charles Parnell as first patron of this group is (in my view) the most serious claim to notability. However the Parnell article says nothing about this club, so I'm agreeing to delete with the other commenters above.. EdJohnston 16:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
