Promotional article, very poorly sourced, which searches turn up virtually no in-depth coverage in independent sources. Was deprodded without improvement. Has produced 2 notable swimmers, but notability is not inherited. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:07, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this looks like a puff piece for a few notable athletes that were once members of the club, most of the content belongs on the individual athletes articles. The club itself however does not have any significant sources to assert notability on its own. Ajf773 (talk) 01:18, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the club has produced notable swimmers, which makes it notable. Legacypac (talk) 03:46, 26 October 2018 (UTC){{}}[reply]

Comment - please remember that notability is not inherited. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:47, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Notability is not inherited and a few notable swimmers having swum there does not cut it. However, if the club has, for example, a specific talent spotting, recruitment and development program (which can be secondary referenced) which (frequently) produced these swimmers and of such a standard then that would make it notable. 95% of the current article is not about the club but about the swimmers and this content belongs with the swimmers' articles, not here.

• Weak Delete. Weak because I only looked at the sources in the article and didn't do any research of my own. But, all those sources are either to other wikipedia articles (not a WP:RS), or to the WIASQ's own website, or to articles about specific swimmers, not the club. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
