Barnstormers-Revolution rivalry[edit]

~~This page is a direct copy of Yankees-Mets rivalry. I don't think it meets a CSD crtieria, so I'm bringing it to AfD.~~ CastAStone /^/(talk) 01:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)(concern addressed)[reply]
This Article is about a non-notable baseball rivalry that has existed for less than a year--CastAStone /^/(talk) 20:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The content is completely irrelevant, bearing no relationship to the article subject (aside from the fact that both pairs of teams are rivals). Mouchoir le Souris (talk) 01:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Keep: My previous argument no longer applies: the article now does cover the subject.

Userfy Move to creator's sandbox for development; article was just created today and looks like a possible stub that is being modeled on Yanks-Mets. Creator is an established editor who should be given the benefit of the doubt.--12 Noon ^2¢ 01:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In light of the complete overhaul of the article, my comments no longer apply. It seems to be a simple notability issue now, of which, regrettably, is not in an area I feel knowledgeable enough to comment.--12 Noon ^2¢ 15:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy per 12 noon, or redirect to Yankees-Mets rivalry. We'll have to see whether this subject deserves an article or not, but let's at least give it the chance. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 02:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There has been significant editing of this article since the last comment 6 days ago so it needs more eyes on it before a decision is taken. --Bduke (talk) 12:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems to work now. It could use some more sources but it looks like it will get there.Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 14:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per above and 12 Noon. Rtac _{contributions} 16:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. Seeing as these teams have been playing each other for less than a year, it seems premature to call this a rivalry. The only rivalry that could possibly exist is one manufactured by corporate advertising, and that does not suffice for notability. RJC ^Talk 19:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per RJC above. A deep rivalry can't have arisen after just one season; and it's crystal-ballery to assume one will develop in the future. Therefore, delete. Terraxos (talk) 03:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete one game doesn't equal a rivalry, I doubt sources will show up for a while Secret ^account 18:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
