[edit] Milwaukee Community Sailing Center
Does not appear to satisfy WP:CORP; seems mostly self-promotional. ZimZalaBim talk 23:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. I found some newspaper articles about the center, and I think that notability is now shown. --Eastmain (talk) 23:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete Local sailing clubs are inherently non-notable except in extreme cases. Royalbroil 05:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. This one is distinctive because of its commitment to outreach to young people who would normally never get a chance to learn to sail. I think that is enough to satisfy User:Royalbroil's concern. --Eastmain (talk) 21:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- While that is a laudable goal, that doesn't make it particularly notable, especially within our guidelines. --ZimZalaBim talk 22:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Reliable sources have written about it. --Eastmain (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm still not satisfied. Almost all clubs outreach into the community. I see little salvagable text in the article - it reads like an advertisement for the club. Except if it can be shown that it was the first club to do something big, I see no reason to keep it. Royalbroil 19:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

- Reluctant Delete- Just doesn't seem notable enough to be encyclopedic, along with coming off like an advert. If more sources are found I would consider changing my opinion. Rigby27 Talk 18:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep as sources have been added. faithless (speak) 07:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep, given the sources, seems to be just barely notable enough. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC).
