*'''Do Not Delete''' Although Supercow does pertain to one specific department at one specific school, it is a source of pride, entertainment, and humour at schools across North America (let alone Canada). The reason for this importance, isn't just in its entertainment value, but also in how well it symbolizes the school spirit that so many engineering schools attempt to foster. Much like the Red Suits at McMaster, the Cannon at U of T, and the Tool at Waterloo, Super Cow symbolizes not just the sprit of a single school, but also the enthusiasm many have for engineering as a whole. Furthermore, SuperCow is regularly used as an example within provincial levels of engineering student societies, and internationally. The similarities between UofG's Supercow and Wisconsin's cow at the US national engineering conference were also a topic of discussion. Merging this article into a parent article would be detrimental to the subject material, because the concepts of engineering spirit embodied by suprcow transcend the subject of a single school. Rather than suggesting deletion, I think we should be pushing the original author to update the article to reflect reality a little more. [[User:Jbfung|Joseph Fung]] 19:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC) |

Non-notable - prod tag removed TigerShark 19:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Expand article to include unmentioned broader history of Supercow. The Supercow is a well known mascot among all engineering schools in Canada. It is frequently the subject of being stolen by other schools (There is a notable incident involving Royal Military College which has an associated video) - Morphix (talk) 18:29l 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. —Mets501talk 19:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom. - Motor (talk) 07:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to proper school, which should also have an article created. I'm not convicned it's non-notable, for it can easily end up in the school article for the time being until it's a viable one. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete No, sorry. This isn't notable. While the school might be important, this particular mascot is not. Too bad too, I was thinking it was about Cow and Chicken, though the opinion would've been the same. Kevin_b_er 02:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Do Not Delete There is no reason to delete this page. Supercow is my Hero :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.104.250.115 (talk • contribs)
- Do Not Delete Supercow is fondly recognized amongst engineering students across Canada and well immersed in the traditions and spirit that said students work to promote — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.183.145.219 (talk • contribs)
- DO NOT DELETE Supercow is recognized by thousands of engineers across Canada.204.239.248.193 18:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Please don't delete Supercow. As a recently graduate of a canadian engineering program, i must say that although many engineering schools have mascots, few (none, actually) can boast the widespread recognizability and quirky adventures of Supercow.
