AfD

Disagree with the reasoning for the AfD slightly but think it is appropriate. There is a notable rivalry but as it is I don't think it warrants more than a subsection on each team's article. The creator of the page put in an info box and a single outsourced sentence. It could possibly be OK if an editor really went to work on it. Also, title could be for the hockey teams per: http://www.seattlepi.com/othersports/112547_port14.shtml Cptnono (talk) 03:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Not entirely sure on the notability standards for a sports rivalry, but at minimum I think an article on this topic should have sources. I think it could be "speedy" deleted based on its ambiguous, mis-capitalized title. Seems like a good candidate for a user to work up on a user sub-page, build the case for notability, and then move to main space after the first round of hard work has been done and the case has been made. (A technical note about Misplaced Pages procedures -- this article is not under WP:AFD, but WP:PROD. An AfD would be a full discussion; it's easier for everyone if the less contentious cases get decided by a more streamlined process.) -Pete (talk) 06:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
