Contested deletion
[edit]The Ross Island Yacht Club Antarctica is not only the only yacht club in the Antarctic continent, but it is also one of the oldest remaining association founded by the people working in Antarctica. It is a testament of human spirit and culture being born in unexpected places, and comes to show how the human desire of association has gone as far as Antarctica. Although the RIYCA may not actually sail ships, it is odd enough for its history and meaning that I believe deserves its own page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Germenfer (talk • contribs) 11:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Germenfer: The article only says
... making it one of the oldest organisations.
, which is ambiguous. Whereas your statement above qualifies it more, in addition to saying... the only yacht club in the Antarctic continent,
. So if you can mention about the "only" part in the article, or add further context to "oldest organisations", the article may have a chance to avert A7 deletion.

- I’ve removed the speedy deletion tag however I have to say this article is hanging by a thread due to questionable notability.

- If this article is not noteworthy enough to be a standalone entity, it could be transferred to the McMurdo Station article as a section of its own. GERMENFER 18:54, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
