New York City derbies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are a series of article that have been added (Hudson River derby, New York City derbies) and edited (New York Red Bulls) to refer to a history and _possible_ derby between the teams that does not exist yet. There are no credible references to the title for the derby suggested. It appears to be an attempt to build a foundation to reference in the future. No such named rivalry or derby exists between: New York Red Bulls and New York Cosmos New York Red Bulls and New York City FC Adiamas (talk) 04:54, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Although there is clearly written here that (there's a much immediate regional rival for the Red Bulls to deal with: the New York Cosmos). But actual name of the subject that is New York City derbies is not mentioned in any of the sources like this and . A.Minkowiski_Lets t@lk 18:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 18:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - can't be a derby if they've never played a game, and they won't for another year, or the only game in history is in a secondary tournament against a minor league club. Plus there is too much speculation in the article. WP:CRYSTALBALL comes to mind. This deletion should not however be prejudicial against recreating the article in a year's time when there is actually something to write about (presuming there is), and hopefully the closing admin puts something to that effect in their closing comments. oknazevad (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - If any of these were to become notable in the future, then a separate article on the individual rivalry would be appropriate. -- Whpq (talk) 01:38, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - no indication that any rivalry actually exists, particularly given that they have never played. Rivalries are inherently non-notable unless they pass GNG per WP:NRIVALRY. As the teams have never played this guideline cannot be satisfied by definition. Fenix down (talk) 09:38, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
