Dockland Rivalry (AFL)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. There are 153 rivalries in the AFL; only a few of them (like the Carlton–Collingwood AFL rivalry) are notable. This article has no references and thus fails to demonstrate why this is one of the notable ones. At present, it is not even mentioned at Rivalries in the Australian Football League.

 * Delete - a search for "Dockland Rivalry" brings pages and pages of it mentioned on.... Wikipedia. No news, no books, just Wikipedia. Elgatodegato (talk) 22:49, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing found on a Google search- lots of mentions of them playing each other, none mention any rivalry. For note, this rivalry isn't even listed on Rivalries in the Australian Football League. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Rivalry is non-existent, trophy is non-existent, though the article is probably well-intentioned (rather than a hoax).  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  13:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: As nominator, I should point out that there is [www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2015-04-06/WWL-round-1-port this article], which says "Yep, we reckon this rivalry is building into something special and is arguably the best rivalry between two non-Vic clubs right now." But since it was on the Port Adelaide website, I didn't think it constituted independent coverage. StAnselm (talk) 19:25, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Falls well, well short of the notability required for its own article. Given the lack of references, I'm also opposed to merging the content into Rivalries in the Australian Football League. Outright deletion. Aspirex (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete most club pairs can find a reason for a rivalry, but this isn't high on our list of rivalries. The-Pope (talk) 10:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
