 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary content fork of the Houston and Texas football teams. Relative to other rivalries and rivalry articles, this has no trophy, fewer contests, and less rivalry-specific coverage. p b  p  14:57, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

 * A prior AfD closed only six weeks ago. See Articles for deletion/Houston-Texas football rivalry. Is there a reason this is being brought back to AfD so quickly? Cbl62 (talk) 17:54, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It was closed as no consensus, so there's no prejudice against it being renominated. p  b  p  22:40, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand that, but six weeks is a bit quick. And you did not link to the prior AfD, so I thought you might have been unaware.  Could you go ahead and add the link in the AfD box above? Cbl62 (talk) 00:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Two months is generally accepted per WP:RENOM, so it is slightly speedy, and is correct in noting the AfD hasn't been properly created (losing the reference to the previous one.) SportingFlyer  talk  09:18, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The reason I didn't find the previous AfD is that the article was renamed since the previous AfD. The claim that this hasn't been properly created is off.  Anyway, can we not get so hung up in bureaucracy and address the fact that this is not a notable rivalry?  p  b  p  14:50, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete no sources in the article indicate that this is a rivalry.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence this particular pairing of football teams is particularly notable. Otherwise, if a competition has n teams, we'd be creating (n*(n-1))/2 articles for every possible pairing of teams. "Rivalry" articles should only exist if the pairing is demonstrated to somehow be noteworthy. SJK (talk) 09:51, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
