This article is about the alumni magazine for Washington State University. We generally don't find alumni magazines notable for standalone articles ( the category has only 16 non-redirect entries), and there doesn't seem to be anything particularly notable about this one (CASE gives out lots of awards).
A WP:BEFORE search turned up a surprising amount — [1] counts as one notability-qualifying source, and the previous alumni magazine has a borderline source of its own.
However, two factors push me toward merging and redirecting to Washington State University. First, per WP:PAGEDECIDE, it seems questionable to have a separate article on this when there's just not that much to say on it and it could be covered at the university's article. Second, it was created by a paid editor, so retaining it would be WP:BOGOF. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 05:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- Just to confirm what's been said, I pulled up the Circle of Excellence awards for a single year, and there are about 300 of them. These are not notably scarce. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 06:28, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
