Northern California-Southern California rivalry[edit]

Primarily unsourced original research. Also no coherent theme or purpose. Gateman1997 05:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Refs have nothing to do with the subject of the page. The comparison of political data is inherently original research, and seems unrelated to sports rivalries. Should we have articles for every intraregional rivalry? South Jersey vs. North Jersey, Manhattan vs. Staten Island, Upper East Side vs. Upper West Side, etc. etc. etc.?

Delete. That there is a strong division in terms of political and social ideologies between North and South California is fairly beyond questioning. That they do not see eye to eye on every topic and some sort of "rivalry" exists is also fairly obvious. Even more blatant, however, is the fact that this is completely WP:OR and should be deleted.

Delete, an article on the rivalry itself is not notable as this sort of regional division is common in larger states; e.g. New York has New York City and Upstate New York, but we don't have a "New York City-Upstate New York rivalry" article. Cover some of the salient beefs in one or the other article. -- Dhartung | Talk 21:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a clear case of WP:OR. --Dennisthe2 22:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete wow! Selket ^Talk 01:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice. There are actually a number of newspaper stores and articles (and cartoons) about this, but the article makes no attempt to look for them. The article could be usefully redone when someone wants to do a proper article. As for the NY State analogy, there are articles for both New York City secession and Upstate New York statehood movement.DGG 02:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Obvious nonsense. Artaxiad 21:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It should be obvious that this should be deleted. --Eric Bekins 02:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as convention of Category:Regional rivalries. Article might be poor, but topic is notable. Kevlar67 02:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
