Requesting the article Queen's-McGill rivalry be deleted as it fails a number of Wikipedia's guidelines. The largest of which, it fails Wikipedia's notability guideline. A thorough attempt to find reliable sources to verify them have failed. A Google web search and Google Books search shows that no reliable source makes any reference to this 'rivalry'. Finally, the few sources that do make any reference to the rivalry, cannot possibly be attributed as reliable sources, noting their origins (be it non-professional or partisan to either universities). This is clearly evident when looking at the sources provided in the article. Only one source in the entire article makes any reference to the school's rivalry, a 15 year old article published by McGill regarding the school's rowing teams. All the other sources in the article are only used to compare the two universities in terms of academic rankings, none of them does so directly and is done in the article itself. There also is no other sources used outside of academic reputation and the rowing section of the article.Leventio (talk) 12:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Material in the article mentions competitions between the 2 universities, but this does not mean there is a rivalry between these 2 universities.Curb Chain (talk) 00:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
