No assertion of this existence of this as an actual derby, let alone a notable one. Dancarney (talk) 13:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is definitely a real thing, but the coverage seems to be limited to small-time news wires in Australia. Doesn't appear to be notable. I've added the only other source I could find so people can see it exists. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 14:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - but leave redirect to Queensland Derby (the horse race) which is what I actually thought this was going to be about. Non notable event has occurred 3 times to date as scheduled fixture in the A-league - only this season as NQF have only just joined the league. Forum and blogs have "given it a name" but actually they haven't, they have merely used phrases like "Zullo played the remainder of the Queensland derby in Townsville with a heavy heart". It is just a "derby" between two local teams. The haven't "given it a name" at all (names have capital letters), merely described a match. --ClubOranje^T 08:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's a derby, and has been described as such, but not (yet) a notable one. It would appear no more notable than any other any other regular season A-League match. --Shirt58 (talk) 07:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
