This is just a dictionary definition of a non-notable shade of purple. bobrayner (talk) 17:58, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is a legitimate school color and it is properly sourced. Keraunos (talk) 21:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In what way does that exempt the article from the notability guidelines and WP:DICDEF? bobrayner (talk) 22:56, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete – the Clemson web page says "522D80 = Regalia"; that's not enough to establish notability or base an article on. Dicklyon (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The fact that the word appears in a list of the colours that an institution uses as part of its "brand" does not constitute substantial coverage in reliable sources, and that is the only information that the article gives, apart from the fact that it is "a dark shade of purple". A proprietary term with no evidence of notability, and also no more than a dictionary definition: either of those would be sufficient grounds for deletion.

- Delete. I'd suggest merging some content into Clemson University, but there really isn't any content to merge. There isn't substantial coverage to establish notability for this color.--Slon02 (talk) 17:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete non-notable as well argued by JamesBWatson. --MelanieN (talk) 17:50, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
