Florida State–Notre Dame football rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a rivalry, just two teams who meet periodically. Of the 3 sources for this so far rivalry, one is bleacher report (Which fails WP:RS) the others are articles with the use of rival or rivalry only in the headline. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:43, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete At the time both teams were excellent (1993–94) the Tampa Bay Times did a survey showing Florida State fans at least somewhat viewed Notre Dame as a rival: [www.newspapers.com/image/339689502/]. However, I'm still a delete !vote - it's not a true WP:NRIVALRY in the sense that USC-Notre Dame, Michigan-Notre Dame, et cetera would be, and there's no coverage outside of about 1994 or 1996, when the teams played important games against each other.

 * Comment Article was apparently created by banned (not just blocked) editor. Pending the tenth active WP:SOCK investigation of that editor, the article would be elligible for WP:G5 speedy delete. I am not commenting on the article beyond that at this time, due to those extreme reservations. That editor's other creation at Articles for deletion/Miami–South Florida football rivalry is trending to unanimous delete. UW Dawgs (talk) 13:47, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Based on the infrequency/irregularity of play and lack of historicity, I am disinclined to recognize this sporadic, 11-game series as a notable rivalry or historically-significant series. My disinclination is exacerbated, as noted above by UWDawgs, by the genesis of this article as the recent creation of a sock with a long history of creating rivalry articles on subjects of dubious notability.
