Appalachian State–Charlotte rivalry

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

Subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV from independent, secondary sources. The only secondary source (#2) currently in the article says that it isn't a rivalry yet, and I don't see any other non-primary sources calling it one. Let&#39;srun (talk) 20:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Going through the sources in which they appear: WP:UGC; "A rivalry? Not yet." (i.e. this is a WP:NOT failure); no mention of "rivalry" and looks to be more UGC; self-published by one of the schools, mentions no rivalry, and is just game schedules; ditto; ditto. There is no source of any kind for a rivalry, much less in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Unlike several of the other rivalry AfDs presently running, this one doesn't even have material to merge into the school articles' athletics sections, since the whole idea of such a rivalry existing is pure WP:OR.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:34, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The teams have played a total of three games, starting in 2018, and App State won all three games by a combined total of 136 to 70. No trophy. No long tradition. Not a rivalry. Not notable. Cbl62 (talk) 16:08, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 16:45, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment All of these sources not included in the article describe it as a rivalry.    Grahaml35 (talk) 19:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete My interpretation of the sources above are that they are WP:LOCAL to Charlotte. The NBC Sports ref is also a WP:CRYSTALBALL source. So, nothing provided yet has any clear independence or WP:SIGCOV of a current rivalry. Conyo14 (talk) 05:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
