Talk:Grand Canyon Trophy Game

Notable?
I don't know if much has changed since Articles for deletion/HintonBurdick Grand Canyon Trophy. Joeykai (talk) 01:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC) 71.112.246.67 (talk) 21:37, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

In terms of saying if it is a rivalry or not, the following article from the Big Sky Conference, states that it is a "traditional rivalry" and that is has been placed at the end of the season with other traditional rivalries.

Assessment of sources for establishing notability
As of the current version. Left guide (talk) 21:10, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The page was kept in an AfD, which would seem to establish notability due to going through the AfD process. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:06, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * unfortunately no, because the AfD was closed without a meaningful discussion about the sources as they pertain to WP:GNG Left guide (talk) 00:09, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If something is kept (especially if the closure is "keep" rather than "no consensus") after a long AFD discussion it is notable - full stop - whether or not you believe that the discussion about it's notability relating to GNG was "meaningful" enough - I also added an additional significant source about the rivalry.

 * “It’s starting to build into something" - In other words, it isn't something yet. Let&#39;srun (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hm? That source suggests it is a rivalry: How SUU-NAU became a rivalry ... “For me, it’s always been really big,” SUU head coach Demario Warren said. “Ever since I’ve been here, the games have been really close. For me, it’s always been very very competitive and it’s been a game I’ve always looked forward to.” And his players feel the same way. Weber State might have the in-state ties, but NAU has the history. And that's why for many SUU players, there is little question which trophy game means more...

 * That is not a WP:INDEPENDENT subject, since the coach is employed by the school he has a motivation to promote his employer. Let&#39;srun (talk) 13:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You quoted the coach too... but anyways, the quote is just a small portion of the article, which is from an independent newspaper source. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I voted delete at the AfD, as there doesn't seem be sufficient SIGCOV about either (a) a bona fide, notable rivalry, or (b) the trophy. Unfortunately, nobody else at the AfD agreed with my position. Cbl62 (talk) 06:12, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
