This article is based entirely on self-published sources. There appears to be one reliable source, but it is a list of winners of a competition and only provides a trivial mention of the subject. No other mentions of the club (besides its website and this article) were found through a Google search, so notability does not exist and cannot be established.

Speedy delete - should have been a simple db-club. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the same thing, but I was quite reluctant as there appears to be at least an assertion of notability with the list of achievements. Xenon54 / talk / 13:48, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See this in the Times of India (a major Newpspaper). May not be enough to establish notability. Certainly it is more than trivial treatment though. What you really need is someone who reads Urdu or Hindi to do some searches. Of course the onus is on the creator to find sufficient sources.--162.83.163.199 (talk) 13:50, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After reading that article, I have strong doubts that the text was written by someone outside the club, and am almost certain that person is not a professional journalist; there are numerous grammatical errors and vocabulary choices that would not normally be made by a journalist, not to mention the complete lack of capital letters. You are correct that this is the first instance of a source that significantly mentions the subject, but whether the source is independent or reliable is hard to ascertain.
