[edit] Stern rugby

Stern rugby (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

AfD-ing rather than prodding as there could be a reason to keep this as a bona fide college sports team (which seem more notable in the US than the rest of the world). However, I don't see how this is salvageable; strip out the OR, vanispam & attempts at humour, and all that would be left would be a two-line stub. As I can't see a way it could be cleaned up, I'm breaking my own rule and bringing it to AfD early rather than tagging for cleanup. — iridescent (talk to me!) 19:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. If they're looking for donations, then they're a private club and not associated with the school. Non-notable amateur rugby team. Corvus cornix 23:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete.This is a legitimate page and deserves the right for members to clean it up so that it conforms with Wikipedia's guidelines. This page was just created two days ago so it needs time for it to be properly edited. Are all pages created after two pages tagged for deletion? Give these guys a chance to properly edit the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.194.196 (talk) 15:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC) — 69.118.194.196 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Delete, vanity page about a non-notable sports team. JIP | Talk 04:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete. 1. There are rugby club teams on Wikipedia. 2. It is uncommon for a rugby club to be formally associated with a school in most parts of the world. (In other words, affiliation with a school should not be a factor with this particular sport.) 4. Sometimes sports teams are noteworthy for reasons other than their category (e.g., Jersey Generals were noteworthy only for playing against the Globetrotters. XFL teams for their shennanigans, such as the "He Hate Me" jersey) 5. I see no mention of donations anywhere. 6. I agree that the article needs a lot of cleanup. Let's make that happen.
