Deletion of Arkansas–Missouri football rivalry

Comment: I have not performed the  research required to determine the notability of this game series as a rivalry, but per , no sports rivalry is inherently notable, and every sports "rivalry" must satisfy the general notability guidelines per .  That means significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources explicitly covering the series '''''as a rivalry''''', not merely as a recurring game series

Comment: The SEC has realigned things so that, starting in the fall of 2014, Missouri will replace South Carolina as Arkansas' "cross-division football opponent".  This may or may not result in a significant rivalry forming at some point in the future. However, there is not presently a notable football rivalry.  Nor has there been historically.  As Nascarking notes, these two teams have only played each other five times.  The most recent game was in 2008, and there have been only two games in the past 50 years.  The present state of affairs does not warrant a stand-alone rivalry article. The headline on one of the sources cited in the article sums it up pretty well: "Only time will tell if Tigers' new rivalry takes."  Any issues concerning the 2014 game can be dealt with adequately at 2014 Arkansas Razorbacks football team and 2014 Missouri Tigers football team.  Last but not least, this article does not pass , as I am not finding significant coverage in mainstream media outlets covering the series ''as a rivalry'' as opposed to a potential future rivalry
