Non-GNG context

• Prior Dec 2014 AfD was unanimous delete.
• UAB team was disbanded 2015-2016.
• Article was then recreated April 2016 (based on no additional, core information).
• Series has resumed with only the October 2017 game played since AfD.
• Teams are both members of the West division of Conference USA.

Article has four citations for rivalry including one from AP which state rivalry, all of which predate UAB's 2017 return to football. I lean towards delete re WP:GNG and "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention," but keep is reasonable especially if based on additional cites. UW Dawgs (talk) 02:49, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

• Delete previous AFD resulted in delete without controversy, and I can see no compelling reason to bring the article back (not really seeing a passage of WP:GNG for the rivalry itself). I think it was a good-faith attempt to bring the article back, I just don't see what notability measure it passes.-Paul McDonald (talk) 16:58, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
