[edit] Sevenoaks S.C.

This article makes some assertion of notability of finishing sixth in the regional championships, but I checked its website to look at the times the swimmers were doing, and the record holder is about 20-25% slower than the world record in all events. Given that the qualifying limit for olympics and world championships is 5%, this cannot possibly come close to being sportingly notable. Britain won 2 bronze medals at the last Olympics in swimming, and isn't particularly strong, so I don't see why a community club competing in a county league at speeds 25% lower than international standard is notable.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per Blnguyen. If there is an article for the community league, it might be worth merging with that but it doesn't seem to be worthy of an article of its own. Capitalistroadster 07:04, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I can find no Wikipedia policy that defines a level of achievment against world records that must be met before a sports club is 'allowed' an article. It is accepted now that all schools are 'notable', by the same logic, so are community sports clubs. Markb 07:41, 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)

• Delete per WP:CORP, Criteria for products and services. This is the closest guideline for this kind of places I could ever think of. -- ReyBrujo 17:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not all schools need their own article, and most sports clubs definitely do not. Additionally per above. Kuzaar 20:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
