Contested CSD Keilanatalk(recall) 23:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

That's not a valid deletion reason. MECU≈talk 23:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
The implication is that Keilana has denied the CSD tagging, and is bringing it up for community discussion. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 04:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: The entry has been expanded to include more information about the organization's history with external references/press mentions. The entry is now as -- if not more -- complete than many of the wikipedia entries for West Potomac's peer teams. If this article is still considered a potential AfD, please indicate specific reasons why this entry is not appropriate compared to the others in the US rugby union teams category.

  • Keep: I'm not into sports, etc. articles, but I don't see how an article with all those references from all those different independent sources, including the Washington Post, could fail a notability test. Nyttend (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Nyttend. I had tagged this as A7, which at the time it absolutely was. However, the effort put into this article has been exemplary and a gold standard on how to save an article. Good work.--CastAStone//(talk) 04:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure about this idea, but given Keilana's method of starting this AfD, my response may qualify the article for Speedy Keep per nom.--CastAStone//(talk) 04:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • With a hangon template if you're the creator of the article, or by removing the speedy deletion template if you're not. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
