Non-notable rivalry, no WP:RS to show notability. Consensus is that these sorts of rivalries are not notable unless they can be shown to pass WP:GNG. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's too soon to delete this article. --Arjanizary (talk) 18:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why so? It's been up for two days so far, which is enough time to find the very basics of an article that passes WP:GNG. That's blatantly not the case here; it's also a sports rivalry article, which doesn't carry any inherent notability. Lukeno94 (talk) 18:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I see no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 18:45, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, there is no indication this is more than statistics compiled for the purpose of creating an article, which also falls under WP:OR. C 679 21:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the "rivalry" itself does not seem to be covered to any extent. Ducknish (talk) 22:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability not evidenced. delete now, edit later per WP:NRSNVNA DavidTTTaylor (talk) 18:04, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:NRIVALRY, sports rivalries need to pass the general notability guideline, which this rivalry doesn't. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:10, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
