Wenatchee-Eastmont Basketball Rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I'm not sure whether high school sports rivalries are notable, and I'm sure a proposed deletion would be contested, so I'm bringing it here for wider discussion. Also adding Big Apple Hoop-la as the "main event" for this particular rivalry. ... disco spinster   talk  04:11, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. High school sports rivalries are not inherently notable; they need to have independent reliable sources to establish their notability. Furthermore, this rivalry has only been played three times, and it looks like Wikipedia doesn't even have an article about either of the high schools involved. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:32, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment High school rivalries are not notable. The usual outcome is that high schools are usually considered notable enough for their own stand alone articles.  If someone wanted to create an article about Wenatchee High or about Eastmont High (with mention of more than just the basketball teams) then they could mention the annual meeting there.  As an article all its own, no (same with the NCW basketball tournment above, looks like the same thing being referred to three times in three separate articles).  I suspect that the author is new to Wikipedia, and not aware of usual outcomes on high school topics.  This one would be a "delete all three", but I'd like for the author get a few days to be aware of alternatives rather than this being a snow delete.  Mandsford 03:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can see no reason that this particular rivalry would be notable under WP:GNG or any other measure.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment see also Articles for deletion/Battle of the Bridge (football game). If all articles get deleted (likely so) then the two image files on the pages should also be remoeved.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:42, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
