Tañon Strait derby

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable per WP:NRIVALRY. A simple google search shows only a single tweet about this. The term itself hasn't been established yet and could have been coined by fans (How come a match-up played for only 11 times count as a derby?). No single occurrence of a news article stating this "derby". Possible original research on creating the article. Baby miss fortune 06:37, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: On the article talk page I found this new comment: This article should be named the Visayas Clasico. The Tañon Strait Derby tag has been an unofficial tag by the fans while the league and the mainstream have been tagging the matchup as the former. I have not examined this article and have I no opinion on a name change or AFD outcome. I just wanted to notify this discussion of the potential naming issue, and let the relatively new user know they can participate here. Jpg0813: Wikipedia has many policies regarding articles, but the main thing to know here is that we are looking for evidence of WP:Notability. We need to see that independent WP:Reliable Sources already consider this topic notable enough to have published information about it. We have an unofficial but easy summary page at WP:42. If we don't find sufficiently good published sources about this topic, the article will likely be deleted. Alsee (talk) 21:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment:There is indeed some kind of historical rivalry in the Visayas but its more of between teams in Negros and Panay islands. Imho its original research, its questionable if this particular rivalry between Global and Ceres has established itself as the "Tanon Strait derby" if Global has yet to play a match at their new home ground in Cebu and the article covers the United Football League period where both teams were playing in Manila and Global was formally based further east from Cebu, in Tacloban. I guess there is indeed a rivalry between the two major clubs in the country but it would be premature to dubbed it as the Tanon Strait derby.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:14, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
