The DC Cup
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Infobox and article categorization imply this is intended as a sports rivalry article. WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable" and defers to WP:GNG. Three games in this series(?) have been played to date. Citations focus on game results and branding attempts, rather than establishing a rivalry. WP:TOOSOON at best.

 * Delete. Article recreated without following proper procedure following prior AfD closure as "Delete". No additional games have been played since 2011, and so the arguments for deletion in 2014 still apply. Cbl62 (talk) 13:22, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
