[edit] Keele Rugby Club

Delete, non-notable sports group consisting "of two men's teams and a women's team". Only 11 hits on Google. Royboycrashfan 21:21, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep --Irishpunktom\talk 21:39, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Appears to be a club/non-varsity sport at a university; every university has them. Does not seem particularly notable. --Kinu t/c 21:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment : I don't know what non-varsity means to you, but they do compete in the major BUSA championships (the equivalent of NCAA), as part of Keele University. That puts them on a par with Kentucky Wildcats, for example. Having said that, what little content here should be merged with Keele University. (Full disclosure : as a staff member at Keele University, and a rugby referee, I've had a fair number of dealings with Keele Rugby) -- GWO

  • Keep, or else delete all equally minor sports teams, such as GWO's example of Kentucky Wildcats. Simon Dodd 03:48, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Of course, the Kentucky Wildcats page is (theoretically) about all of the university's notable varsity sports teams and not just the basketball, and the school has produced multiple professional athletes and other individuals notable in sports. (In that regard, I would likely support an article about athletics at Keele along that line, as long as it meet all other inclusion standards.) --Kinu t/c 05:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
