USM Alger–MC Oran rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to fail WP:GNG. The only sources provided are unofficial websites. A quick internet search doesn't seem to reveal much but I admit that there may exist some good French/Arabic websites for this rivalry. There is also a severe lack of prose in this article and, instead, just pure statistics. WP:NOTSTATS. Spiderone 12:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Aside from WP:NOTSTATS issues, WP:NRIVALRY requires GNG to be met. Yes, these teams have played a number of times, but that in itself does not create a notable rivalry. I see no indication of significant, reliable coverage of the the notion of a rivalry between the two clubs. Fenix down (talk) 13:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete If this is a well known rivalry then there should be WP:SIGCOV beyond WP:ROUTINE. The article primarily makes up a record of the matches between these two teams which are redundant as a list of matches is available elsewhere, just not filtered out. At present the article does not focus on any prose outlining the rivalry between these two teams. The WP:BURDEN is upon the keep camp to demonstrate that this is indeed a well written about rivalry significant enough to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. AFD is not clean up, but there must be something to clean up in the first place. Mkdw talk 00:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
