Not meeting WP:GNG. No in-depth coverage in reliable and independent sources can be found. No indication of independent global notability. I tried multiple search terms to retrieve some kind of coverage, but failed to do so. Hitro talk 10:34, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I created this article is that CMU's alma mater does not have any page on it previously despite several of its peer institutions having them (i.e University of Pittsburgh, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, [[Bright College Years |Yale University]], University of California system, University of Florida, etc.). Some of these pages have fewer references than the CMU one. I oppose this article's deletion. Avatarfanx2 (talk) 22:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I don't see the case for a stand-alone article. the alma mater plays a critical role in the culture and history of Carnegie Mellon University seems to be unsourced puffery. Carnegie Mellon University traditions isn't a great article but probably could be a merge target. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:21, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not enough information to justify a stand alone article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:38, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Carnegie Mellon University traditions. "not enough information to justify a stand alone article" does not justify deletion - see WP:BEFORE. On the other hand, the proposed target in itself is far from certain to survive. The main issue is that the topic of the article is wholly unsourced (the primary source given is only relevant to the extraneous background included in the article). I suggest that the author provides some reliable secondary sourcing as matter of some urgency. Just Chilling (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect as above. Suffers from WP:NOTLYRICS too. Almost all fight songs and alma maters are redirects to traditions pages. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:05, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
