[edit] Beckenham Swimming Club

A suburban swim club. Despite the claims made in the article, I checked the "club records" section in the website and all of the club records are 10-15% slower than the world record, whereas the qualifying at the Olympics requires around a 5% margin for A-qualifying. There is no indication of them winning British Championships, or any athletes being selected for national teams, and incidentally, Britain managed only 2 bronze medals in the last Olympics and aren't exactly a swimming power.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 05:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - There is a policy WP:BIO which mentions

Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in an individual professional sport, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad already have articles.

• • This appears to imply that this group of people/organization is not notable.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 07:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
  • This policy WP:BIO , concerns an individual, it states clearly that an individual is worthy of a biography if they attended a club of sufficient stature. This policy is not relevant here. Markb 08:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
