Big in East Grinstead, but probably not anywhere else. I can't find any obvious coverage in third party sources beyond this single sentence in the local press. Claim that Sean Yates was a member is unreferenced. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (minimally - probably one sentence) to East Grinstead. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I normally don't mind merge / redirects, but I didn't feel one was appropriate here as the article isn't linked anywhere in article space and the odds of somebody typing "East Grinstead Cycling Club" into the search box are rather slim, in my view.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - certainly not notable. The problem with a merge is that there are numerous clubs in the town and if we tried to list them all we would get an unencyclopaedic laundry list. For major towns the practice of only mentioning clubs and societies that are themselves notable is sound.The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:55, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
