Silly, unreferenced vanity article, totally unencyclopedic. Possible BJAODN candidate though I suppose. --W.marsh 21:37, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Mildly funny, but delete--Hraefen 21:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As a Harvard student, I can confirm that ARC does, in fact, exist, and the charter cited is indeed real. The club was started for casual runners to come together, and is not a varsity sport, but the information is accurate. The pictures, of course, are not. I vote keep. --Smee 22:05, 22 December 2005 (UTC) (Actually by 69.113.75.204 (talk · contribs). Smee (talk · contribs) has zero contributions. Uncle G 23:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
- As a Harvard student, you should know that "because I said so" doesn't cut it as a citation: maybe one of your profs will let you borrow his or her copy of the Chicago Manual and you can see for yourself. --Calton | Talk 01:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I'll change my vote to keep if it is rewritten in a tone expected of an encyclopedia and a source is cited (some type of at least somewhat notable publication) but something tells me this won't happen.--Hraefen 22:06, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: OK, even though I'm not the original author of the article, nor am I a member of the club, I will attempt to add references, as required by Hraefen above. These references are pretty easy to come by, simply do a Google search for "Atomic Runners' Collective". --Smee 16:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Is there some sort of contest at Harvard to see who can get the Stupidest Encyclopedia Article Ever into Wikipedia? D-bag Football, Nick Rose Day, and now this? And if that photo of the Japanese girls in go-go boots are a) runners, b) part of this alleged ARC, or c) at Harvard, I'll eat my hat. --Calton | Talk 01:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
