Karachi Kings—Lahore Qalandars rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. WP:NRIVALRY clearly states that sports rivalries are not, by default, notable and that notability of the rivalry itself (which I take to mean rather than the fixture simply existing) must be shown using the WP:GNG. One source - from Parlho - is used to suggest a notable rivalry - which is, in effect, a bunch of tweets collected by someone. Given that this sources styles itself (via the page title) as the "leading viral stories platform for Pakistan youth" I would suggest that it does not meet the requirements of the GNG in this regard. None the other (English language) sources I can find show the sorts of notability that I'd want to show that there is an actual rivalry beyond people insulting each other on social media. To me, then, non-notable and very new sporting rivalry that doesn't do anywhere near enough to show notability. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:13, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Clearly fails WP:GNG and, from a purely project viewpoint, WP:NCRIC. Adds no value whatsoever and seems to be no more than a short-term fallout than a genuine and long-standing sporting rivalry. Jack | talk page 11:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability not demonstrated, coverage is WP:ROUTINE.  IgnorantArmies  (talk)  12:00, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete It's really just a collection of stats, more than anything. No real indication that there's an actual rivialy, just that two teams have played each other a few times.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 18:32, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
