Derby Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As has been tagged, this is actually referring to the Cairo Derby, which is notable. I am opposed to a merge as I don't believe that this article has anything worth merging; the other article is better in every department. I also disagree with a redirect as I can't see any evidence that the Cairo Derby has ever been called 'Derby Africa', certainly not as a widespread term. I think that the title is misleading as there are plenty of derbies in Africa that could compete for this title potentially. Spiderone 12:01, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - duplicate article that doesn't merit being a redirect. GiantSnowman 12:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cairo derby. Notable search term. --Jimbo[online] 18:21, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - duplicate article, not seeing any indication that this is a widely used terms for this rivalry, seems inherently generic to me as well. Fenix down (talk) 09:39, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete duplicate of Cairo Derby, and redirect doesn't seem like a good option, as Derby Africa could refer to any derby match between African teams. Joseph2302 18:23, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
