 * Merge as above, that the symbols were designed by La Rose is sourcable (e.g., . --j⚛e deckertalk 14:46, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Another nomination by someone who apparently just assumed there wouldn't be any sources. I found 12 in just 10 minutes, now added to the article. Also renamed it Heradlry of Harvard University since that's a natural way of encompassing related subtopics. EEng (talk) 22:18, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * EEng, thank you for doing that. Even if I accept that the page satisfies GNG and does not need to be deleted, I just wonder whether, as a matter of editorial judgment, it would still be better to merge it as a section of Harvard University. It seems to me, subjectively of course, that it would work well as a section, and just does not need to be a standalone page. --Tryptofish (talk) 15:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, an HU article properly developed would have very little space for anything, just small sections or even paragraphs linked to larger articles or sometimes just a "See also". The current article is crap and might well quality for WP:TNT, but I didn't want it on the record that this one shouldn't exist sooner or later. Since it's here we may as well leave it, given that the subject is clearly notable. EEng (talk) 15:58, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
