Reliable sources covering the subject do not exist, therefore the subject is non-notable. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 06:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep: The team has placed and IRA National Intercollegiate Rowing Championships. The highest level in American College Rowing. To help others out, I have provided a [http://www.plu.edu/athletics/crew/index.html link] to the official team site at the university’ athletic web page and the [http://www.plu.edu/~crew/History.htm history] of the team from the university web page. The above links I would considered reliable primary source. At first I was little concerned about it not having 3rd party Independent sources. But I found the Seattle Times does a pretty good job covering the team. I found several hundred articles when I did a [http://search.nwsource.com/search?query=Pacific+Lutheran+rowing&from=ST&searchtype=network search] of Pacific Lutheran Rowing. Note: the majority of links are useless but there is a lot of good information on the team, races, alumni and even a tie to Ted Turner and Cold War politics. [http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/archives/1986/8601160067.asp]. With this coverage and I think this article makes the threshold of notability (but it very close).09er (talk) 15:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep as sources appear sufficiently abundant. Failing that, merge to Pacific Lutheran University Jclemens (talk) 22:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
It might better idea to redirect and merge into a new article called Pacific Lutheran University Athletics. If the article is merged into Pacific Lutheran University the rowing info would dominate the whole article. 09er (talk) 14:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
A merge/redirect to Pacific Lutheran University Athletics would have the same problem in that the rowing will dominate the article. It will also create a disconnect between the article title and the content of the article. Otherwise, I think its a good idea, and I guess the article would have to wait to get filled out. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 21:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
No comment on the notability, but if it's kept shouldn't it be renamed Pacific Lutheran University Crew?--brew crewer (yada, yada) 01:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Yup. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 03:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Agreed 09er (talk) 14:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
