No acceptable sources for notability and no reason to expect there would be. The content is not even worth merging, as it is totally non-encyclopedic and local to the college. There's already a link to the student group building it in the Tournament of Roses floats article, and this is all that's needed.  DGG ( talk ) 22:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The Rose Parade is an internationally notable event, and the annual float is notable because a) it is annual and b) it is always done as a joint venture of the two universities, unique among all the floats. 72Dino (talk) 22:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No significant media coverage. The brief mention in Tournament of Roses Parade is all this merits. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:00, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Rose Parade is extremely notable, with a very limited number of floats. In my opinion, each of these floats may be notable, not through inherited notability from the parade (Although that may be a factor) but on their own, due to a years work of efforts, publicity, etc. that leads up to each display. For example, when a float isn't able to make it one year for some reason, it is always noted that XYZ could not enter their float this year due to ABC reason. To me, a float would be notable if it were missed a year later, especially this one, as it is one of the major displays. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 01:22, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Plenty of media coverage on an annual float featured on such a high-profile event. For example:
 * LA Times 1
 * LA Times 2
 * LA Times 3
 * NY Times
 * San Diego Union-Tribune
 * Pasadena Star News
 * Local newspaper
 * Recent local news
 * Master's thesis
 * Digital commons
 * CBS/FOX
 * among many others...

 * Comment - I think those sources alone are enough to satisfy even the most challenging of notability concerns. Still, this article needs help. It is poorly written, and it needs to be renamed. Bad spelling is not very encyclopedic. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 05:10, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ignore my spelling comment, I just read it in context as plural and not a mispelling of the posessive. I need coffee. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 05:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Notable parade, notable schools, notable float with a long history. Mrfrobinson (talk) 11:13, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
