Lesser five[edit]
- Dicdef: Just a simple dictionary definition. No possibility of enlargement.
- Unverifiable: Not a single of the ~110 Google hits for the phrase "lesser five" referred even vaguely to the Ivy League or any of the schools.
- Inflammatory: Seems to be an article designed simply to agitate fans of those schools.

- Delete. Non-notable even if it were verified (which appears unlikely). Avoiding boosterism includes not trashing other universities. -- Rbellin|Talk 18:11, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not a common term, not an actual alliance of any kind, no possibility for expansion. – Beginning 19:36, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Having been subjected to the vanity and petty competition of Ivy Leaguers most of my days, I've never heard such a term. —ExplorerCDT 20:06, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
