Greasepole[edit]

Delete - Contested prod, information is unencyclopedic, much seems to be speculation (legend has it...). Fails the "would someone on the other side of the world care?" test. Not notable outside of the Queen's Community. Chabuk 15:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Most University traditions aren't notable off their respective campuses, or outside the alumni's fond memories. Akradecki 15:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per nom --Bill.matthews 16:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - unsourced, uncencyclopedic - if someone comes up with sources that meet WP:V and WP:RS, then I might reconsider. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it just my imagination, or are Queen's University students vastly more likely than most other student bodies to delude themselves as to the encyclopedic notability of their school traditions? I seem to recall that AFD has dealt with vastly more Golden Gael cruft than any other university I'm personally aware of. Delete; fails both "would someone on the other side of the world care?" and "Wikipedia is not for things made up in school." Bearcat 23:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
