I've declined a speedy deletion of this article on the grounds that it is, technically, sourced - however I still have doubts as to whether or not the club is notable, especially considering the likely conflict of interest editing occurring.

Delete - University club, no indication of any form of significant coverage, fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG, just plain not notable. Codf1977 (talk) 13:23, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there is no independent coverage in reliable sources. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 20:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As creator of the page, I acknowledge my involvement in the club in question as a member and an officer of the executive next year. However, I respectfully disagree with Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry that this constitutes a conflict of interest, as it is still from a neutral point of view. I however, must concede that the club is not especially notable, and that my main motivation for the creation of the page was that pages for several other University of Otago clubs had Wiki pages. I note that since the beginning of this discusion, and my use of the existence of those pages as support for my advocacy against speedy deletion, two of those pages seem to have been deleted, and another has been nominated. While I consider this a small loss to Wikipedia, if the policy is being implemented consistently, I will not oppose deletion. I direct administrator Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry towards the remaining clubs in the University of Otago navbox, namely Otago University AFC and Otago University Rowing Club which should also probably be deleted. - GintyFrench^(talk!) 11:46, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
