AFD necessarily relies heavily on precedent. Otherwise WP coverage would be even more random and arbitrary than it is now. An argument for deleting this article seems to be an argument for getting rid of such articles as a class or formulating new notability guidelines for them. I cannot see how

Some projects or groups of articles have different standards by precedent. For example, there are probably a 1000 or more mineral articles (some being pretty obscure minerals), of which only a few have enough proper refs showing notibility, but all of the minerals exist with clearly defined

The color is used not just by Davis, but by anyone writing about that university or things connected with it. There are other university colors, and this should be treated similarly. Merging it into the university seems singularly

I guess I'm just not sure why this colour needs its own article and couldn't be part of the
