Dartmouth–Yale football rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another in a series of entirely-unsourced Ivy League football "rivalry" articles dating to March 2016. WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable" and defers to WP:GNG. GNG states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Currently there are zero supporting citations, so fails GNG. Searches do not return significant coverage in independent sources to meet GNG standards ("significant coverage").

Non-GNG callouts:
 * site:newspapers.com is good for sourcing significant historical coverage
 * site:nytimes.com is another
 * Modify as helpful, but neither returned much for me.
 * site:dartmouthsports.com yale rivalry returned some contemporary non-football matches (primary source issues aside)
 * site:yalebulldogs.com dartmouth rivalry did not return much UW Dawgs (talk) 23:49, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment it's not a contemporary rivalry by any means, but this article shows it may be a historical rivalry: That being said, there's precious little else I can find, and the article is unreferenced as it is. SportingFlyer  talk  12:43, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
