Attempts to remove Oct 2009

Please leave this article as is. It makes eminent sense to have a spin off article for a club that is a significant rowing presence on the Thames. It would unbalance the School article to incorporate it. Motmit (talk) 17:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but I still don't necessarily see the notability of the club, nor do I see any information in the article that couldn't be reasonably summarised in the rowing section, without unbalancing the article. I haven't randomly come to the page and started throwing around issues of notability, so I'll welcome any further comments Sage1314 (talk) 19:51, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Three factors that make a rowing club notable are that it has its own boat/clubhouse, it organises main events and it has or has had members that compete at the top level. HSBC has a very distinctive boathouse on the Thames (away from the school buildings), it organises the Hampton Head which closes the River Thames to navigation, and has nurtured numerous internationals, not all included yet. This makes it of interest to the river and rowing community in a way that the school itself is not. It is a similar situation to Oxford and Cambridge College Boat Clubs where readers can find the rowing info without wading through the college article. The HSBC article has a rowing infobox, co-ordinates and categories that don't really apply to the school, and if it didn't exist there might be a need for separate articles on the Millenium Boathouse and Hampton Head. Few school boat clubs have this combination of factors, but there are dozen or so that do. I have no inclination to set about creating articles for these but it would be a shame to lose one that sets the pattern. Regards Motmit (talk) 13:10, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since this was discussed, but I would agree that this page should be kept. Hampton is probably one of the top five under-18 (and young adult) rowing clubs in the country so I don't think that its notability is questionable at all. Eton College has a much less detailed article about their boat house with no flag. I've removed it, but feel free to add it back if you disagree. O99o99 (talk) 21:05, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
