Unreferenced article, focusing on a limited number of football matches from recent years. Heavily tainted by POV language/comments. Also, most of the references to "Westcountry derby" on google are about rugby, not football so I don't believe this is a phrase commonly used in a football context. I don't see what value it adds to Wikipedia and therefore suggest it is deleted. Simple Bob (talk) 22:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - plenty of GNews hits here for "West country derby" being used in an association football context. Article definitely needs tidying up, though, starting with moving to the correct title with "West Country" shown as two words, not one -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep - As someone who supports one of the clubs associated with this article, I feel qualified to say that the term is well used. However, it needs plenty of work in my opinion. It comes across a bit POV and is heavily weighted towards recent history, not to mention going off the subject; Dean Windass didn't play for any club based in the West Country, yet he is included because of a one-off game. Information is inaccurate and its completely unreferenced. I might be a Plymouth Argyle supporter but even I can admit that the most "intense" derby is between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers. I respect the editors enthusiasm but he/she could learn alot from similar articles. Argyle 4 Life (talk) 21:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
