Double and Triple Eagles

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Neologism specific only to Boston College: no acceptance in the broader world. Fails WP:NEO and WP:GNG GrapedApe (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The first sentence says it's a nickname. Already that goes against "WP is not a dictionary." It could be mentioned in the articles on the 3 schools. Borock (talk) 03:10, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Baldwin the Eagle. Just Boston College trivia, but it's related to the nickname and mascot. Cnilep (talk) 06:51, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Disagree that this list of various people including Mass. politicians, lawyers, and similar distinguished professionals belongs within an article about the athletics mascot. UW Dawgs (talk) 08:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with UW Dawgs (which is interesting, given that s/he is disagreeing with me) that the lists of "notables" should not be merged. The remaining content of the article – currently four sentences, but it could probably be rephrases as two or three – could be merged (that is, the suggestion that "double eagle" and "triple eagle" are slang terms for BC graduates).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Boston College trivia, and also ambiguous - I saw the title and assumed it was about golf... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
