Longview civil war football game

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a rivalry between two football teams of high schools of modest size. Currently it consists of a table of scores dating back 53 years. I'm sure the two schools keep reasonably good records of the final scores of these games so the current content may very well be verifiable even though one might argue that such sources are not independent of the subject. In any case, even disregarding that issue, it's hard to see how one could construct an article of any depth and in particular an article which does not consist essentially of a long table. Wikipedia is not a sports almanac. Pichpich (talk) 03:42, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No sources to suggest that this cross-town high school football rivalry in a small city in Washington satisfies WP:GNG (or even to verify the name given to the game or the scores). Cbl62 (talk) 20:26, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete high school rivalries are normally not notable, and I see no reason for an exception here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:04, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
