College mascot, no evidence of notability to justify separate article. See WP:GNG. GrapedApe (talk) 03:49, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

• Delete - This article is covered under Baylor University#Mascot and is not notable to stand by itself. It is local and part of the University article. Jrcrin001 (talk) 06:44, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

:Keep Prominent mascot of a major NCAA team. There has also been some controversy made by animal rights activists over the live bears displayed on campus. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

::Source? 'Cause that's not in the article and I'm finding zip in searches.--GrapedApe (talk) 00:22, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

:::WARNING: Article contains extremist, wacko, nut job opinions. Reasonable people should be advised to monitor their blood pressure while reading. Now that you've been warned, here it is [http://www.peta.org/features/animal-mascots.aspx]. Don't say I didn't warn you! Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:02, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

:::That's a press release from PETA, which is not a "reliable source" as required by WP:GNG. So, that doesn't count for notability purposes.--GrapedApe (talk) 11:27, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

• Merge/Redirect to Baylor University#Mascot. I could not find the necessary significant coverage about either of these mascots for a standalone article. I could only find local coverage about Bruiser. The only more widespread coverage about Judge was when a previous incarnation of the mascot killed a bear cub back in 1982. Not enough for a standalone article, but leaving the redirect will at least lead people to the information. (The current title is not actually very good for that purpose; better redirects would be Judge (Baylor mascot) and Bruiser (Baylor mascot). --MelanieN (talk) 23:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
