Nothing more than a single sentence definition and an external link. Rtphokie (talk) 14:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong keep. Being a stub is not a reason for deletion. Queenstown Rovers play in the second flight of soccer in NZ, and as such are notable. I shall attempt to enlarge the article. BTW, why is there no AFD notice on its page? Grutness...wha? 00:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep per Grutness. However, I am concerned that they don't play in a national competition but the sources uncovered by Grutness have allayed my concerns to some extent. Capitalistroadster (talk) 11:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Reply/comment. In NZ soccer there is only one national division, after which there are four regional leagues for the upper and lower North Island and upper and lower South Island. The league that QR are in is the top flight of one of these four leagues - as such it is level two of NZ soccer, and Queenstown Rovers would therefore rank in the country's top 50 or so teams. Also, the article mentions Queenstown Rovers' participation in the Chatham Cup, which is a national competition. Grutness...wha? 22:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Grutness. Sebisthlm (talk) 12:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep notable enough in NZ to keep. They're probably far more notable than a lot of the lower-league English clubs who have stubs. Peanut4 (talk) 11:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
