Intraconference rivalries in the American Football Conference

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Redundant to National Football League rivalries, in addition to other non-encyclopedic information. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete lots of original research here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:32, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Article does not discriminate what defines a rivalry and the scope of the entries covered by this article. Fails WP:GNG needing multiple independent resources to legitimize discussion of these rivalries under one article. —Bagumba (talk) 21:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete while some of the rivalries are notable (Raiders-Steelers is the most obvious one there from the 1970s), this is mostly unsalvageable orginal research and should be deleted. Secret account 06:39, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge sourced content (i.e. with source noting that particular rivalry exists) to National Football League rivalries...I must say there seem to be an awful lot of rivalries given the total number of teams...? Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * My feeling is most of these are just one sided superficial "rivalries" from the POV of the losing team that fades a year or two later. —Bagumba (talk) 15:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Strike that, I'm confusing with the similiar super bowl AfD.—Bagumba (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * They're similar enough that the striked comment does sort of apply to this AfD as well. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Source #1, for example, is about Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog during a game. That is so below the threshold of inclusion on this project. Besides, all the "sources" are YouTube videos, suggesting WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
