Another article on a color associated with a university that appears to have no secondary sourcing available. Currently sourced only to Tufts' brand identity guide. Oxford Blue this is not. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:36, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Tufts University as nom. (There's currently Shades of blue § Tufts blue, but given the lack of sourcing, I think that section should be removed.) {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:36, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• See also related AfDs for UCLA Blue, BISU Visual Identity, and RISD Blue. I tagged Carolina blue for notability, as it's a little more borderline. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 01:07, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as above as a likely colloquial term. The primary source provided doesn't fully support this article, and a more modern version eg [1] does not either. Without any sourcing a merge of any kind seems inappropriate. —siroχo 01:09, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect: as above. Never mind without sourcing, what kind of actual content is there to merge? That the university's marketing department has its own color codes for the shade of blue they prefer? Heck, I used to live in Medford, and I've never heard this turn of phrase. Ravenswing 04:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
