• Keep as with Glasgow University Shinty Club, Edinburgh University Shinty Club is a fee-paying member of the Camanachd Association, the governing body of Shinty, therefore they have as much right to be in the Wikipedia as any other shinty team such as Kingussie and Oban Camanachd.

They are one the sport's most historic clubs and have a long history of playing the sport at a high level. I understand why people would not wish for any University Club to be allowed in to the Wikipedia but in deleting Edinburgh University Shinty Club one would have to delete all University Sport pages such as the following, UCLA athletics and also delete any club or team in any sport with an academic connection in their name such as Hamilton Academical F.C.. Edinburgh University have always catered for non-students as well and until very recently played against non-academic teams.

In giving a complete picture of the sport of Shinty it is necessary to give a list of all teams who play the game. I have no vested interest in promoting Edinburgh University Shinty Club. Please keep this article. Sologoal 10:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, merge the team into into the sport article since it isa small sport.--Peta 05:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Shinty is not a small Sport, whilst it is mostly confined to Scotland, it is a very popular game with important historic linkages to communities and peoples, to merge all clubs into the one article would be small-minded and petty.. For example, Edinburgh Univeristy merits a mention at least in connection with Sorley MacLean, the famous Gaelic poet as well as their long history of competition. One is of the opinion that "University" should not necessarily tar a club as being a "University" club per se. (See my earlier point.). the clubis not a drinking club or some jolly fraternity, it is a copmetitive club competing at a national level.Sologoal 10:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)—This comment was really added by User:Cabers
