Dartmouth College Seal

 * — (View AfD)

An article on the seal -- i.e., the insignia -- of Dartmouth College -- not notable beyond maybe a passing mention in the College's main article. Is the seal important beyond Dartmouth? Has it been recognized as historical, ground-breaking, notable, etc. beyond Dartmouth? Has it made an impact on the world beyond Dartmouth? I would characterize this as an indiscriminate collection of information. Dylan 21:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This could very easily be shortened by half and then merged to Dartmouth College.--Dmz5 21:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Dartmouth College. -- Whpq 22:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and cleanup, per Dmz5. schi talk  23:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge - We have articles about flags and other seals. If it has an interesting history, theres no reason not to keep it. savidan(talk) (e@) 00:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge Same as above (Liveforever22 02:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC))
 * Delete I don't think the history of the seal of a college is notable. FirefoxMan 16:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep of merge It has good, interesting information - why not keep it? An alternate suggestion: perhaps an article on Symbols of Dartmouth College - since in addition to the seal having an interesting history, the Indian mascot has attracted national attention and is barely mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia. --└Smith120bh/TALK┐ 00:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I like the idea of Symbols -- you're right, the Indian mascot at least deserves as much treatment as the seal. I'm trying to think of what other things could be included there... anything jump to mind? Dylan 01:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmmm - Indian's definitely the biggest one, but maybe brief mentions of the Lone Pine, the Seal, perhaps even the "Vox Clamantis in Deserto" motto. --└Smith120bh/TALK┐ 22:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This much detail in the Dartmouth College article would be clutter there.  Include only a brief summary, and the reader who wants more can follow the wikilink to this article. JamesMLane t c 16:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
