The result was I think I am reading keep for Bradford derby and no consensus for the others. Whereas arguments have been made that these are too minor to be notable, also some sources have been found, and at this point is was not really possible to establish consensus.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:28, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

A62 derby

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No reliable sources provided to show this to be a notable rivalry, and a quick google search doesn't bring much up either. Probably fails WP:GNG. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 08:10, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I am also nominating the following related pages because they also appear to fail WP:GNG

There were a few other local derby articles that look a bit iffy, but these ones seemed fairly clear to me. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 08:24, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Bradford derby, per WP:NTEMP. Clearly was a derby match between two Football League clubs for about half of the 20th century, until Bradford PA went bust. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:09, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

I strongly disagree - there are plenty of articles on the internet relating to the rivalry between Huddersfield and Oldham. You only need to read articles before the two meet on either club page - it's a proper local derby... only Bradford or Leeds are bigger rivals in my opinion, and that's coming from a Terriers fan.

A rivalry is a rivalry regardless of whether people supporting other clubs agree or not. But if we're going to remove games based on a difference of opinion, then by just browsing through a few on the list of derbies it is quite clear that there are others far more worthy of removal. For instance:

Milton Keynes v Wycombe - no history to it| Cambridge City v Cambridge Utd - not been played for decades| Cambridge Utd v Histon - no real history to it bar a couple of seasons in the Conference| Milton Keynes v Northampton - no history to it| Kettering v Rushden - non-league at Rushden have barely played Kettering| Milton Keynes v Peterborough - again, no real history to it| Dagenham v AFC Wimbledon - not aware of any genuine rivalry| Crewe v Port Vale - similar to Huddersfield v Oldham - not the main rival but certainly a genuine one| Port Vale v Walsall - again, aware of it - but no more notable than Huddersfield v Oldham| Nuneaton v Tamworth - local derby for sure, but more notable?| Shrewsbury v Telford - barely ever played, despite being obviously local| Bolton v Wigan - most Bolton fans don't see Wigan as one of their biggest rivals| Altrincham v Macclesfield - local for sure, but again?| Fleetwood v Blackpool - very local game and definitely a derby, but one with virtually no history to it| Bournemouth v Southampton - a local derby yes, and Bournemouth fans dislike Southampton, but it's rather one sided| All of these are no less worthy of removal - if we're going to be fair about it then we'll have a rather empty page remaining. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.116.131 (talk) 13:31, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


 * if deleted, these derbies will still be listed at Local derbies in the United Kingdom. The question is whether to have a separate article on them- see Ilikeeatingwaffles's comment below --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:51, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * If this gargantuan sentence had a decent in-line citation I might be inclined to vote keep:
