Sources are all self published. No coverage in third-party sources. Subject fails notability guidelines. I could find one mention of this club in a RS: here but I think it's a trivial mention... and this is the ONLY mention I could find anywhere. My Spanish is horrible though, so please prove me wrong... Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 22:33, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I consider it a wrong nomination for those reasons: 1) "Sources are all self published": In the case of Marista, such as other minor rugby teams in Argentina, it is really difficult to find information beyond clubs' webpages because rugby union is not a popular sport in Argentina, and the media does not usually cover them. 2) If this page should be deleted, all the pages about minor rugby teams in Argentina should be so. :: In Torneo del Interior, Torneo del Litoral (or even Torneo de la URBA tournaments, most of the articles of those teams are stubs... according to User:Livitup's position, all short articles in WP should be deleted?. 3) about Marista article in particular, sources and media covering have been added.

Although the person who nominated the article could only find (as he stated) one mention of Marista RC, here are more webpages which refer to the team: here is the first about the Torneo del Oeste championship recently won by Marista. This article covered the final game when the Mendocino team defeated Liceo RC proclaiming champion in 2011. There is another link mentioning Marista here; English company Webb Elliss (main team sponsor) commenting the final on its Argentine website. The last, from the Mendoza Province newspaper "Los Andes" covering the final here. Besides, there are many Facebook pages dedicated to Marista RC here here and here amongst others, all of them with a wide variety of photos... isn't enough proof ?

Weak Keep The rugby time[1] source seems third party enough to me. Not completely convinced on the notability, but find it difficult to find sources in foreign languages. From what is in the article I feel a similar club from an English speaking Tier one nation would also be kept. AIRcorn (talk) 23:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
