Senior Stick

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It exists, but I couldn't establish that it meets WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 20:24, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. This is an excellent example of what our "not being a paper-based encyclopedia" allows us to do. This article probably wouldn't make the grade in a printed encyclopedia, but we're not so limited. The topic is, within its limited sphere of interest, notable, and the references seem reasonable. Is this article going to be read by everyone? Clearly not. But for people who are interested in badges and symbols of office, this is worth noting. RomanSpa (talk) 09:59, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - the only references I can find for it, which are trivial, are for the University of Manitoba. Though I do see some reference to the phrase, related to hockey, especially in the 19th century, and more recently for curling. But they seem completely unrelated. I can't even find enough independent information to justify a redirect. Though no reason it shouldn't be mentioned in an article about student groups at the University of Manitoba such as University of Manitoba Students' Union. Nfitz (talk) 00:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. We are indeed WP:NOTPAPER, but we're also WP:NOTEVERYTHING. NOTPAPER is "not a free pass for inclusion" for otherwise non-notable topics. This subject doesn't seem to have attracted significant coverage in independent sources, so it isn't notable and thus ought to be deleted. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ambrosiawater (talk) 05:59, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't find sufficient independent sources not published by the University of Manitoba. Suonii180 (talk) 08:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete does not pass WP:GNG. The position is only mentioned in passing by independent and reliable sources (i.e. senior stick so-and-so did such-and-such). TipsyElephant (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
