Outside of the 1970s, very little actually links the Rams and Vikings as rivals in the present day, I have been a devout Rams fan for multiple decades and we have harbored no such hatred towards Minnesota. PontiacAurora (talk) 21:55, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: American football, California, and Minnesota. Shellwood (talk) 11:46, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Notability is not WP:NOTTEMPORARY. If the rivalry was notable in the 1970s, then it qualifies for an article. Alvaldi (talk) 11:59, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - for the reasons Alvaldi gives, and really per nom. As the nom acknowledges, this was a notable rivalry in the 1970s and regardless of what happened since then notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Rlendog (talk) 13:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per above. A major rivalry in its day and received WP:SIGCOV from top authorities on NFL coverage, such as CBS and NBC. Today's Rams-Vikings series is not to the level it was in the 1970s, but notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY Frank Anchor 14:45, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Since the article, I believe, was submitted due to the one's not-awareness of WP:NOTTEMPORARY I believe it can be left untouched. Rodgers V (talk) 12:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per WP:NOTTEMPORARY as Alvaldi and others point out. Nom admits that the subject was notable in the past. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 08:20, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per WP:GNG and WP:NTEMP, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:49, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
