Floyd of Rosedale

A trophy contested in one football match between two universities doesn't seem notable to me. Maybe it could be merged somewhere, but it probably isn't worth it. David Johnson [T|C] 20:28, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. A 70 year old trophy passed between two very notable football teams is notable. Stuff like this adds a lot of depth to Wikipedia. Well researched, too. Merging it somewhere would be unacceptable, as it is large enough to clutter any related article. Also, there is no good non-biased placed I can think of to merge it. I'll clean it up and Wikify it, it will look a lot better-Casito⇝Talk 22:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep There are other articles about similar trophies. Rmhermen 22:55, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Important local sporting tradition in midwest. Well done Casito for the rewrite.
• Keep. It's an obscure piece of regional culture/tradition, worth hanging on to.

• Keep. While this might not be included in a traditional paper encyclopedia, it is the sort of article that adds value to Wikipedia. --NormanEinstein 14:17, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This trophy has historical value to both the schools and the Big Ten, and to the states as well. Frank12
