Does not meet WP:NCORP. There's not been enough significant coverage. Note that WP:NSPORTS isn't applicable. Yashovardhan (talk) 08:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.. Am I missing something? Meets WP:GNG with articles like [1], [2], [3]. Doctorhawkes (talk) 10:18, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a poorly written stub with no indication of notability and my understanding of the Australian league system is that this club plays at such a low level that Wikipedia notability guidelines are unlikely to be met anytime soon. I appreciate the links that User:Doctorhawkes has provided, but I'm not sure just proving the club exists is enough for it to pass GNG. If the club ever successfully applies to a higher level of amateur/semi-pro Rugby league in Australia, my view would likely change to keep and improve, but for now it's delete.

Keep, the level of the league that the club participates in is completely irrelevant, what is relevant is that there are substantial sources in multiple credible metro papers that discuss the club and its history in detail. Meets the WP:GNG and then some. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:06, 5 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

RE: "the level of the league that the club participates in is completely irrelevant" – I've seen amateur club articles deleted for that exact rationale, so we'll have to agree to disagree on that point. Skemcraig (talk) 13:26, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a policy you can cite to that effect? The relevant notability guideline that I can see is WP:ORG. Granted, most amateur footy clubs won't have that much substantial independent coverage, but this one isn't your average amateur club for a variety of reasons that the sources listed above go into.

Delete There's nothing here that constitutes a claim of notability. Alansohn (talk) 02:33, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Being covered by those major news sources is a claim to notability. The level of the league that the club participates in is completely irrelevant. Also covered by The Australian. Enough high quality sources for GNG. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
