[edit] Velo Club Monterey

Delete. Not notable except for one famous member. — Fingers-of-Pyrex 19:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Being notable is not a requirement for addition, nor is lack of notability a justification for deletion. Please correct me if I'm missing something about Wiki policies. --Serge 18:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
That depends on who you ask. Some editors consider lack of notability a justification and others do not. However, you've failed to explain the importance or significant of VCM. There are a ton of cycling clubs. How is this different from any other? howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 19:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. What's the definition of "notable"? Google returns 565 pages for a "Velo Club Monterey" search. --Serge 20:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    • That link you provided gives only 377 hits. But if you page through it, you'll find only 83 unique hits. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 22:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Have a look at Wikipedia:Notability. - Mgm|(talk) 11:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
      • The requirement for notability in an article is a proposed policy, which is quite contentious. In particular, there is no consensus that lack of notability is ever a basis for deletion. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia with the associated resource constraints. Creating a stub on a topic for others to expand on later is standard Wiki. What's the problem? --Serge 20:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Well, you asked for a definition of notability, which is what you were given. However, you still have the barrier of verification to overcome. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
