The result was   Delete per A7. I don't care that A7 doesn't cover this specific article type, it's unsourced and a silly unnecessary addition to the project. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 22:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Non-notable, something that was made up one day, references are all self-refs to MC's newspaper. ukexpat (talk) 18:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Midd student here: No reason to delete this posting, if the individual suggesting deletion had attended the college, he would be aware that this is a long-standing tradition. I am in the process of adding more photos and links... give us some time, the individual suggesting deletion made the suggestion about 2 minutes after the article was posted.

 * Delete. My college has its own holidays and traditions, too, but they don't need their own article. Unless it's gained notability outside the Middlebury community, delete. (Alternately, create a section in the Middlebury College article on "Student activities and traditions," as other colleges have, and merge.)  Graymornings (talk) 19:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Again, give us a chance to finish writing the article, we just wanted to get a template up. Judge it when you see the finished product. -Creator —Preceding unsigned comment added by RaginAlbanian (talk • contribs) 19:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Non-notable local event. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would have nominated for speedy if there was an appropriate criterion. – ukexpat (talk) 20:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is one of those reasons why we need to make A7 broader. Not saying that this particular page would definitely meet the criteria, but we seriously need an A7 for hamsters, pairs of pants, made-up holidays, and other stuff that isn't a person, organization, or company.

 * If you think there's any chance of this article ever qualifying for notability, I suggest copying it to your userspace and submit it to WP:DRAW when you think it's ready. I have to warn you, however, the chance of a college event that has only been running for a few years meeting Wikipedia's standards of notability is very very slim. Sorry, not prepared to wait for finished product, Delete. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, local interest only, not notable. JohnCD (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: Would an admin please snowball close and delete this one please? – ukexpat (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Since there are just a few !votes and the potential to merge the material in the school article, I think snowballing this would be a bad judgement. It's better to consider a merge in more detail and close it after the regular 5 days. - Mgm|(talk) 13:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
