 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough and new enough. First source does not work but I see that the first sentence is supported by source #2 which however does not contain the dates 1992 and 2003. Hook is supported by source which looks reliable and moderately interesting. No copyvio or plagiarism that I can see. Sources seem reliable, do we know if this is a BLP seeing as I don't see any dates? I see that the QPQ is done (further comment on circularity there).

 * Jo-Jo Eumerus - thanks for the review. My sources got mixed around so I've fixed them in the article. Also, I've put forth a slightly reworded ALT-1 (on review of the source it seems that the Nunataks were named after the Sagehens as a moniker for Pomona's athletic teams generally, and not the mascot Cecil specifically).

 * Source #6 talks about " Sagehen, mascot of Pomona College" which isn't the same statement as what is currently in the article. Other issue is fixed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Alt-2 proposed! Chetsford (talk) 04:53, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Symbol confirmed.svg for ALT2. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:47, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
