Moonshine Throwdown

WP:GNG requires If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." WP:NRIVALRY states "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable." and defers to GNG. There is currently only one supporting citation. The article seems to be WP:TOOSOON, re games dating from 2014 to present. UW Dawgs (talk) 12:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete my review of the sources in the article and sources found online show a lack of coverage required to meet WP:GNG or any other notability measure. Only one of the three sources in the article actually even has the word "moonshine" in it, and that's the Forgotten5 reference--13:33, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete my search of online sources shows that a few bloggers and medium posters have called it the name of the rivalry, but it's basically a non-notable neologism. At best it's WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer  T · C  22:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Yet another non-notable sports rivalry. --Micky (talk) 03:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. My searches didn't turn up significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The article's sourcing to "forgotten5" appears to be a blog and does not appear to be sufficient. The series also lacks key criteria of traditional rivalries. Cbl62 (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Another article about a very recently established CFB "rivalry" game (though there were a couple earlier meetings, the article itself states that "the rivalry was established in 2014"), so it's probably WP:TOOSOON in that regard. The only source to call this a rivalry is a non-RS blog site. If this article is kept for some reason, it should definitely be moved to a different title. Fails WP:GNG.
