List of unique high school mascots sorted by state
An obvious POV violation, since how one defines something as "unique" varies differently from person to person. Also, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. -- TBC Φ  talk?  03:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Also nominating List of unique high school mascots.-- TBC Φ  talk?  03:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete with extreme prejudice per WP:NOT.-- Hús  ö  nd  03:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete for the same reasons above. Uniqueness isn't defined, even if the mascots fit a definition of 'unique' that does not imply a relevant amount of notability and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of info.  The article for 'Spoofhound' is also up for deletion today, and its apparently one of these 'unique mascots' (I'm guessing the same person is responsible for both). --The Way 04:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as unmaintainable POV listcruft. "Oh, but OUR giant bear is unique because it wears a BROWN t-shirt!" Looks like it was copied from the external links.  Ultra-Loser  Talk / Contributions 06:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and how do you measure uniqueness? Qaanaaq 12:26, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: We're all unique, like a snowflake, but high school mascots need to be talked about outside of their area, and significantly, to require encyclopedia listings.  Geogre 13:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as far as I can tell, they seem to mean "unique" in that the team name isn't duplicated at another school, like Spartans, Panthers, or other common ones. Some of these are actually pretty interesting and bizarre: Kittens?  Midgets?  Papermakers???  But overall the list does fall under the "WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information" criteria.

 * Delete: Listcruft; unmaintainable; and useless at that without information on which high school in each community actually uses the 'unique' mascot. -- Bpmullins 14:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a random colletcion of information.Edison 14:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons TBC cited in his nomination. The criteria for this list is too vague, POV, and not quantifiable.  There is no way to make this WP:NOT indiscriminate information.--Isotope23 18:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As per nom and other reasons ststed. Incidentally, 'unique' is easily defined - basically there's just the one and no other. But so what? As Geogre said above, "We're all unique, like a snowflake..." but we don't all deserve encyclopaedia mentions and neither does every snowflake!  Emeraude 21:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Go Growlbaaaaacks... Danny Lilithborne 22:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete My high school's mascots were the "Trees." GROW, TREES GROW! (chanted at soccer games).  I'll wager that's about the most unique that you'll find.  But we'll add our name to the "Unique Mascot List" when we see that list on a bulletin board or private website-- because that's where such a list belongs, not an encyclopedia.

 * Delete per nom. "Unique" is subjective and non-excluvise. Whats next a list of unique lists? Arbusto 01:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Damnit Jim, this is an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate collection of subjective and unsourced information! Set admin phasers to delete! —   21:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename to/Merge with list of high school mascots. "Unique" is POV or complicated to reference for this type of list. -- User:Docu
