Non-notable "list" topic. This was created as a spin-out/subpage of Michigan Technological University Winter Carnival by archivists at the school, and I agree that it is too long as currently formed to go back into that parent article. But I don't see that this content is of encyclopediac value at all (NOTDIR, and DUE even if it were to be merged back in). In order to merit an own page, it needs to be a notable actual topic, not just "overflow from some other notable-topic's article". DMacks (talk) 05:05, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The one cited source was published in 1985, making all entries since then unsourced, and the article simply appears to be a list of photos of buttons taken from the MTU Archives web site (linked at the bottom) with "themes" read off the buttons. So this article is just duplicating an external dataset. Per WP:NOTDB, this list article adds nothing. It shouldn't have been added to the original Winter Carnival article in the first place (pointless cruft copied from a museum page) so a merge/redirect would be pointless.

Please don't delete yet until we work out a different solution on wikicommons. thanks CynMTU (talk) 00:53, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, WP:NLIST and maybe WP:SALAT (as too narrow a topic). Clarityfiend (talk) 15:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
