[edit] Hutt International Boys School Stallions

• Comment - FWIW, this is one of the ten top collegiate gridiron teams in New Zealand (not that there are many more than ten collegiate teams in the country) - they have some notability even if only for that reason alone. For that reason, I'm neutral about it. Grutness...wha? 04:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

With two wins and two loses against other teams within the Wellington region, I seriously doubt that they are one of the top teams in the country. --GringoInChile 10:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Would a merge and redirect to the team's base school be appropriate in this case? -- saberwyn 04:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't think it's worth a merger. The school article already mentions the team. If it is deemed NN then I guess there's no need to stuff the school article with names of NN team members. A redirect would be harmless, but it also doesn't seem that necessary.--Húsönd 04:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
    • By merge, I mean add the top line of the article, to state that the team exists. Possibly with the addition of the website. The rest can go to oblivion. At the mo, the only mention I can find in my quick glance is the wikilink itself. -- saberwyn 04:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Yep, that's fine with me.--Húsönd 05:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. An insignificant sport in New Zealand. Non-notable. --Midnighttonight remind to go do uni work! 04:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Schools are inherently notable. Their teams are not. Emeraude 11:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Emeraude. Also the article is mostly only a list of members. JIP | Talk 15:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Self-promotion; inconceivable that it could be of use to anyone else. BTLizard 15:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Xdenizen 01:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn team from nn school. It seems to me that the "All schools are notable folks" are beginning to see the logical consequences of that (IMHO wrong) position: if a school is (inherently) notable, isn't its perhaps most well-known public face - it's sports teams also (inherently) notable, and would be their principals/headmasters, etc. etc. Carlossuarez46 19:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
