This was soft deleted about a year ago on the basis that at best it lacked the required verifiable evidence to show notability, if not failing WP:GNG outright. Not much has changed in the intervening time. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:45, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability, no Farsi sources provided to show notability, so until they are I have to delete. If anything is found please ping me. GiantSnowman 16:56, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - the previous AFD noted that article that was deleted was unsourced. This article was created after that deletion, and has a source. There's also additional sources listed in fa:ال گیلانو. I've improved the citation of the Farsi source that already existed in the article - perhaps it wasn't opening due to a formatting issue in the URL? User:GiantSnowman can you review again?

 * Note, a lot of the sources in the Farsi version are stale ... but should be findable. I sorted out one from 2012 and added it to the article ... but there's no end of other recent media about this, such as last month. Here's a Google Search if someone wants to add more.

 * The 2 sources added are both extremely short and do not show significant coverage. `GiantSnowman
 * What about the one Farsi source that's been in the article since it was created over a year ago? Nfitz (talk) 14:39, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Because both clubs and the league they play in are notable, sources like this that merely recount match results, don't demonstrate independent notability of the rivalry. I would expect to see this sort of coverage for any two clubs that have played long enough in a sufficiently well covered league. If there's enough shared sporting history, some sports journalist is going to write this type of article sooner or later, whether there's a rivalry between the clubs in question or not. None of the coverage I've seen covers the rivalry itself in sufficient detail. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Care to explain what you actually mean by the above? There's enough back and forth that your meaning is not clear. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
