History of the Texas A&M 12th Man Towel

No references, unsure if hoax. Touch Of Light (talk) 04:21, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - Criterion A7. Article seems to be about a student organisation that sells towels. No indication of significance or importance. → Σ  τ  c . 04:28, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Probably not a hoax; Texas A&M does spin towels at football games but I don't really want to investigate it further at the moment.  Falcon8765  (T ALK ) 04:31, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment The article was created to describe the efforts of the student body at Texas A&M to support the 12th Man tradition and the Aggie Athletics. Many times, questions are asked of how the towel tradition began and this article provides background.  The article is very fitting and carries significance to the Aggie Student Body ColAggie (talk) 04:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The 12th man is a well-known tradition at A&M and the towels are real. BUT this is already sufficiently covered at 12th man (football) and at Traditions of Texas A&M University; at the latter article, in fact, we find much of the same text that is contained at History of the Texas A&M 12th Man Towel and at 12th Man Towel. In all of these places it is bereft of citations to reliable sources.  There's no need for all these duplicates.   Maybe 12th Man Towel is a reasonable search term so I wouldn't oppose a redirect but otherwise I see no reason why History of the Texas A&M 12th Man Towel and its doppelganger 12th Man Towel should not be deleted. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:40, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It may be amusing to the college students in the article, but it has no value here. And Adoil Descended (talk) 09:42, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect/Merge with Traditions of Texas A&M University. Don't really think it warrants a separate article.  Falcon8765  (T ALK ) 14:55, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources provided. If found, integrate into another article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:53, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect per Falcon8765 above. This is unsourced as it sits but may contain a tidbit or three worth saving. Carrite (talk) 01:01, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, no encyclopedic value. Hairhorn (talk) 02:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
