A62 derby
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Was 'no consensus' last time largely because it was bundled with a lot of other rivalry articles, some of which were clearly notable. I still have serious doubts about the notability of this rivalry and whether it actually warrants a stand-alone article. I appreciate that it gets a mention in a Sky Sports quiz. I see it mentioned in IDN Times too but that could well be derived from the Wikipedia article. Searching the alternative name "Roses derby" only comes up with coverage relating to Leeds United F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry. Searches in Google Books and the BNA yielded nothing useful.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability, and nothing I've ever heard of as a fairly local resident to these areas. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 16:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
