Not notable. A local Rugby club playing in a small league. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete under WP:Sport - as the proposer states, no coverage, unnotable WalkingOnTheB (talk) 12:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article meets the WikiProject rugby union notability guidelines. Besides meeting rugby notability guidlines this team is part of the national association governing rugby. The governing body divides the entire sport regionally so all teams are technically regional in nature under that body. spatms (talk) 22:07, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Speaking as a long-time sports editor and a member of six different sports WikiProjecets, I want to state for the record that no WikiProject is permitted to adopt its own notability guideline for subjects within its scope, such as this one purportedly adopted by WikiProject Rugby Union: WikiProject rugby union notability guidelines. The correct notability guidelines that apply to all companies, clubs, sports teams, and other organizations are WP:ORG and WP:GNG; the purported notability guideline of WP:Rugby Union should be disregarded completely for purposes of this AfD. Period. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:22, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable amateur rugby club team. Subject fails the specific notability guideline for clubs, teams and other organizations per WP:ORG and the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.

delete lower tier amateur sporting clubs are rarely notable, this one is no different. LibStar (talk) 17:14, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
