Unsourced article of questionable notability -- JeffBillman 04:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Close not for MfD. JuJube 04:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved to WP:AFD from WP:MFD. — xaosflux  Talk  04:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Merge some into University of Northern Colorado if it is important to the school, otherwise it isn't notable, so delete. - Rjd0060 05:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. The "Fighting Whites" is the only notable intramural sports team I can think of (due to their involvement in the Native American mascot controversy). Numerous sources are available to show the national media attention they received; I will add some sources to the article before the AfD period ends unless someone else does that first. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Per met90's edits. Article is no longer unsourced and demonstrates that the subject passes significant coverage. Also had a few other appearances in national media, the Tom Leykis show being one that was particularly amusing. Horrorshowj (talk) 06:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Metro90 has added sources and their involvement in the mascot controversy shows notability. Edward321 (talk) 02:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
