See post at WP: Help Desk. User is unable to find any reference to this phrase used with respect to University of California system. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:31, 24 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I see a number of sources which have rankings for number of admissions and such but none that actually use the term "Big Three". This appears to be a case of WP:OR, WP:SYNTHESIS, and WP:MADEUP.  Dismas |(talk) 18:39, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * delete per Dismas - none of the cited sources actually appear to use the term or be about the concept. and searches for "big three" universities are leading only to the Harvard-Princeton-Yale trifecta -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:19, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per above - No evidence of any notability. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  22:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. The link to the OPs deletion rationale on the help desk is insufficient as it will soon be archived. Below is a copy of the original post. SpinningSpark 09:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I am doubt is it a self-study written by the user himself/ herself: Big Three (University of California). Not just because I never find such a term in University of California materials, search in Google (except directed to Wikipedia), but also, you may not find such a term in ALL footnotes and external source he/ she cites. Please also note that the user only creates this page, and posts the link to other pages after registration e.g. Princeton University. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.184.231.1 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete This is basically a rather idiosyncratic OR POV FORK of University of California. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:45, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - UC San Diego?!?! Really?!?!? I've never encountered this term and suspect it is a non-notable neologism. Carrite (talk) 16:18, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure whether to call this a POV fork, or an essay, but it doesn't belong in WP.  DGG ( talk ) 01:10, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete It may  have sources, but  even opinion pieces -  which  this clearly  is -  base  their info  on something somewhere. Not  encyclopedic, per . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
