I couldn't find acceptable sources to support a claim of general notability. Fa-wiki doesn't have any description of the subject, either. This article was deleted in 2014 and apparently, the subject still isn't notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 11:37, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, as no citations have been provided to article. Govvy (talk) 22:12, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NRIVALRY, no evidence of GNG. Simply because two teams play each other regularly does not create a de facto rivalry. Even if there is a rivalry, it has to be demonstrated that this has received significant, reliable coverage as a notion in itself, not simply the synthesis of a series of match reports.

Delete - No evidence provided in the article that the rivalry exists, and difficult to research because of the language barrier. Curiously, besides having no references, the article does not mention the year for any of the matches. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:12, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
