It exists, but I couldn't establish that it meets WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 20:24, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This is an excellent example of what our "not being a paper-based encyclopedia" allows us to do. This article probably wouldn't make the grade in a printed encyclopedia, but we're not so limited. The topic is, within its limited sphere of interest, notable, and the references seem reasonable. Is this article going to be read by everyone? Clearly not. But for people who are interested in badges and symbols of office, this is worth noting. RomanSpa (talk) 09:59, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - the only references I can find for it, which are trivial, are for the University of Manitoba. Though I do see some reference to the phrase, related to hockey, especially in the 19th century, and more recently for curling. But they seem completely unrelated. I can't even find enough independent information to justify a redirect. Though no reason it shouldn't be mentioned in an article about student groups at the University of Manitoba such as University of Manitoba Students' Union.

- Delete. We are indeed WP:NOTPAPER, but we're also WP:NOTEVERYTHING. NOTPAPER is "not a free pass for inclusion" for otherwise non-notable topics. This subject doesn't seem to have attracted significant coverage in independent sources, so it isn't notable and thus ought to be deleted. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
