 * Keep (Most other rivalries on List of college football rivalries have their own page) Bleakgh (talk) 17:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep appears to meet the threshhold of WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:57, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Which is how? Secret account 05:37, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, though possibly rename to "UAB-Memphis rivalry" or something similar. I think that the rivalry itself is notable, but the name appears to be infrequently used, and only with regard to the football rivalry, not the (higher profile) basketball rivalry. cmadler (talk) 13:07, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The rivalry appears mentioned enough in reliable, indepedent sources to at least support the standalone list of results per WP:LISTN, which makes it moot whether or not the article supports WP:GNG, which I think is borderline. Offline articles may  exist as well.—Bagumba (talk) 17:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
