College athletics hand gesture, no evidence of notability to justify separate article. WP:N. GrapedApe (talk) 11:05, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge into Baylor University#Athletics Eric Cable | Talk 14:32, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-notable, as my searches show that the term appears to be widely used in coverage of Baylor's athletic events but not widely covered itself (a brief mention at Baylor University#Athletics might be necessary). As a side note, I've never quite understood why people think these single-college hand gestures might be notable. Ah, good old times… CtP (t • c) 21:09, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Baylor University. The "See also" section lists "Cougar Paw", which is part of the University of Houston article, and Gator Chomp, which should be merged into the University of Florida page. Having an article for every team's gesture is clearly excessive. DOSGuy (talk) 21:12, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Oh good grief. I really don't think Wikipedia is the place for instructions on how to make juvenile hand gestures while shouting rubbish. Most of us are proper grown-ups! -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:32, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as per above. Gosh, American college sports really are a weird world - I can't imagine this sort of thing ever taking place here in the UK......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
