Charlotte–East Carolina rivalry

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

The references present don't mention these schools as major rivals. Appears to be poorly sourced fancruft. Let&#39;srun (talk) 17:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. The sources in the order they're given: nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry, brief mention of trying to develop an in-state rivalry, nothing about rivalry, says AAC schedule through 2026 "reestablishes some longstanding geographic rivalries and provides a foundation for new rivalries to develop" without naming any of them, nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry in the text or attached video, nothing about rivalry, nothing about rivalry, source skeptical a rivalry exists ("Rivalry or not ...") but quotes one of the coaches calling it one (primary source), nothing about a rivalry, title of piece is skeptical ("Don't call it a rivalry — yet") and quotes saying it's not really a rivaly ("I hope it turns into a rivalry, but I wouldn’t quite call it that"), nothing about a rivaly just some stats, and ditto. That's it.  This is clearly WP:OR, someone trying to build the idea that a rivalry exists, but the sources do not say this, and the one that seems to lean a little that direction is directly contradicted (by its own quoted source person) in the next source.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:10, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * For consistencies sake, make sure you review this one too: Appalachian State–Charlotte rivalry
 * Delete. With only one football game having been played between the schools (and that one this fall), it is way, way WP:TOOSOON to have a Wikipedia article discussing this as one of college sports' notable rivalries. Add to that the lack of WP:SIGCOV focused on this as a rivalry. And finally, the one source in the article that mentions the issue concludes: "Don’t call it a rivalry — yet."
