List of Atlantic Coast Conference rivalries

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While the topic may scrape the borderline of notability, the article itself is a mess of uncited WP:OR and fan-written violations of WP:NPOV - such a mess that a decent article would be a from-the-ground-up project. Going by the most "objective" definition of rivals (that being the schools that permanently meet yearly in football and twice-yearly in basketball), the topic is already covered quite well in the main Atlantic Coast Conference article, under the "Basketball" and "Football" sections, so I'm not even sure that this warrants a separate article - but, as I said above, even if it does, there is nothing terribly salvageable here.

 * Delete If this page were based on the judgment of reliable sources as to which rivalries are particularly notable, I would say differently. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 23:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

 *  Delete fails WP:GNG. Should comprehensive foreign-language sources be found, ping me on my talk page. Also needs to mention the name of the country in the lede. Stuartyeates (talk)
