Chelsea F.C. – Liverpool F.C. rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This rivalry seems too insignificant, too recent and has too little coverage to merit an article at present. If you take away all the background info and stats from this article you're left with a couple of sentences, and perhaps that material may be added to the main club articles. If we allow articles on every pairing that flares up a little over a few years we would have too many. See also the comments on the talk page. – filelakeshoe (t / c) &#xF0F6;  20:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: Unless others have serious reasons to find it worthwhile to keep this page, I totally agree with filelakeshoe's comments up here. The reason I started this article is that an article request for this was made, and that I got aware that some rivalry arose a couple of years before. However, the rivalry what it is nowadays (and the short time that it lasted) does not seem enough to spend an article about it. I'd propose to merely drop a (referenced) sentence at the Rivalries sections of the Chelsea and/or Liverpool articles, stating that the teams met 24 times in 5 years.

 * Delete - this is not a notable rivalry and does not merit a separate article. Mention the minor issues on each team's individual page, sure, but nothing more. GiantSnowman 07:10, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Above per nom and GiantSnowman. This is not a WP:N rivalry. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:58, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:NRIVALRY such rivalries are generally considered non-notable unless they pass GNG. Yes the two teams have played each other a significant number of times, but that does not constitute a rivalry in itself. there is little in existence of any substance on a rivalry itself outside of WP:ROUTINE match reporting.

 * Delete. Nothing special about this rivalry. Szzuk (talk) 20:22, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - I follow Liverpool quite closely and I have seen no evidence that this is a notable rivalry. Crucially, it does not meet WP:GNG. The Whispering Wind (talk) 20:23, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
