The result was delete. We seem to be spending a lot of time comparing the Maccibah Gamse and the Olympics, but, at the end of the day, the consensus is that these articles here are not notable. Courcelles 19:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC) reply

"If they are notable, please provide references that demonstrate their notability." - As I have already pointed out, while it is not apt to compare these teams to high level international XVs, they are certainly competing at as high a level as many of the club sides we have articles about. (And which should be kept IMHO) The likes of Shawn Lipman and Zachary Test have appeared in Maccabiah rugby teams, both of whom have played in non-Maccabiah rugby (one at the 1991 RWC and the other in international VIIs.)-- MacRusgail ( talk) 14:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Since you guys are fascinated by online stuff, the IRB main website includes [ http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/regional/newsid=2032816.html?cid=rssfeed&att= Australia win Maccabiah Rugby Gold (IRB.COM) Wednesday 22 July 2009] and this - [ http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/regional/newsid=2032679.html Rugby ready to feature at Maccabiah Games (IRB.COM) Saturday 11 July 2009]. Like I say, I don't trust weblinks, as they tend to disappear after a couple of years.-- MacRusgail ( talk) 14:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete All Whew! What a mess of articles with unnotable team members. Wikipedia is not an advertising space to acquire notability. One article on Maccabiah is sufficient-- AssegaiAli ( talk) 21:38, 26 August 2011 (UTC) reply
