Minerva in the emblems of educational establishments

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Largely unsourced, no evidence of notability per WP:LISTN. PROD contested with I think the article text does a decent job of making an argument that as the goddess of wisdom Minerva would be relevant to symbolism of higher education, which is not how list notability works at all - the article itself requires sources to prove the list's merit, not people's analysis of unsourced text, and I'm not even sure what they're referring to * Pppery * it has begun... 15:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete I can find several articles by individual institutions explaining the significance of Minerva in their logos/seals, but I can't find anything discussing the topic in the aggregate. As nom said, this is a failure of WP:NLIST.  It's also mostly unsourced and the few sources are mostly about individual entries in the list. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively and redirect to Minerva as WP:Alternative to deletion. As stated, sources for examples can be found, a very few are in the article now, and there is some brief commentary here and there, like here. Like that, the list is preserved in the history in case anyone would like to use that to start a search for sources or the like, and the mentioned paragraph at Minerva is not quite left hanging.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Fails WP:LISTN, largely unsourced and USA-only. The Banner  talk 07:43, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is a far cry from USA-only, but it's closer to trivia-only. The reason I don't support a merge is that I would rather see the subsections at Minerva trimmed or removed. "Public monuments, and places" - listing every Minerva statue in the world is trivial and violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Geschichte (talk) 10:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
