Academic regalia of Columbia University

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unclear notability. Very little in-depth independent coverage. Filetime (talk) 20:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article topic is covered in significant depth in the Wolgast article (59 pages solely dedicated to this topic), as well as in the books on the general history of academic regalia in the United States and the adoption of the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume.

 * Keep. In line with other Academic regalia of... articles such as Harvard and Stanford. Well sourced and citations given. - Fuzheado &#124; Talk 18:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. Necrothesp (talk) 15:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Normsupon. A Washington Post 2017 article on University regalia has a section on Columbia (Why caps and gowns at graduation? Let’s go back 900 years), underlying Fuzheado's point (above) that it is as notable as other Universities. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:57, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep - Not clear at all to me why this article would be deleted. Also like every year I got to a college graduation to try and figure out who is wearing what and why I come to this page and the one on Stanford, and Harvard, and Oxford and Cambridge and a few others.
