I'm not very familiar with sports notability, but the two athletics teams for the Claremont Colleges,
Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens and
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags and Athenas (both Division 3), were
barely considered notable themselves, so I had concerns when I came across this page, and
my inquiry at the sports WikiProject leads me to believe an AfD discussion is needed. There is a bunch of coverage from
The Student Life, the Claremont Colleges' newspaper, and the team seems fairly successful, but
WP:RSSM states a topic which can be sourced almost exclusively to student media, with little or no evidence of wider coverage in mass market general interest media, is not likely to be viewed as passing WP:GNG on the basis of student media coverage alone.

- As nom, I'll refrain from !voting initially since I feel WP:UNQUALIFIED. If found non-notable, the page should probably be redirected to Claremont Colleges#Athletics. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 00:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: No reliable sources, as nom said, student publications do not pass GNG. The page also seems a bit of a mess, external links in the body and a whole section called "Pending" — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕ Contribs 08:16, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
