Insufficient independent sourcing on the page to show notability. I don't see any references outwith of the College which reference the topic. Possibly should be merged and redirected but I don't know where to JMWt (talk) 17:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No evidence of notability for which significant independent reliable secondary sources would be required. Cannot find any. Doesn't even get a mention on The College of William & Mary, because it is just a song sung after touchdowns in sports. It does get a mention at the William & Mary Tribe page, which is about the university athletics teams. That is as much as is needed. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Agree with Sirfurboy on everything except the !vote. This has good info with the right depth and substance to replace the Fight Songs section of the main article. It does not merit an article of its own. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:56, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relist to consider the merge proposal as a deletion alternative.

Merge - per ATD. Redirects are cheap. Even if there was nothing to merge, a redirect is certainly a better option than deletion.
