Delete. Subject is not notable, sources are not forthcoming, and this has been largely unsourced for 2 years now. Enough. JBsupreme (talk) 16:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I had never heard of it, but a Google Book search shows it is a well known tradition at a great many colleges. Google News search:, Google Book search:. For Barnard College, a book calls it a "rich tradition." It goes beyond having 24 hour food service available, in that the college president and faculty serve up a festive midnight breakfast as a finals week study break. (Reminds me of the late night "sausaging" to celebrate the end of WW1 in a movie version of "Goodbye Mr. Chips"). Edison (talk) 17:16, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - seems to be a tradition at many colleges across the country, particularly involving a meal served by university officials during finals week. Stanford is another university touting it; the item about Midnight Breakfast under "traditions" links to this article. A Google search for "midnight breakfast" finds 30,000 hits. --MelanieN (talk) 03:23, 12 November 2009 (UTC)MelanieN


 * Keep, per above - evidence exists to suggest that this is a widespread tradition, and that's documented - so, keep. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 17:56, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
