Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blaze (UAB mascot)
The news search created by the AfD template is almost always going to fail when an article has a disambiguated title like this.  Try one of these instead: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Blaze+%28UAB+mascot%29%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1#q=%22Blaze%22+%22UAB%22+mascot&hl=en&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&psj=1&ei=ojVAT6iIMoauiQLj8MSwAQ&start=10&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=9d6a38968ad3284a&biw=1111&bih=490, http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Blaze+%28UAB+mascot%29%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1#hl=en&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22Blaze%22+%22university+of+alabama%22+mascot&psj=1&oq=%22Blaze%22+%22university+of+alabama%22+mascot&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=12&gs_upl=46238l46238l3l48422l1l1l0l0l0l0l62l62l1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=9d6a38968ad3284a&biw=1111&bih=490, http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Blaze+%28UAB+mascot%29%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1#hl=en&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22Blaze%22+%22birmingham%22+mascot&psj=1&oq=%22Blaze%22+%22birmingham%22+mascot&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=12&gs_upl=25818l25818l1l27830l1l1l0l0l0l0l62l62l1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=9d6a38968ad3284a&biw=1111&bih=490.  The article doesn't even contain the most encyclopedic and  information on this subject yet--when the UAB first selected a mascot named "Blaze" in 1993, it was a helmeted Norseman, who caused a PC controvery for being "too Aryan."  That controversy received non-trivial, national coverage in respected newspapers and has resulted in repeated references in the years since. This information belongs in the existing article--it would almost certainly not fit as well into any potential parent articles
