Deletion of Idaho–Idaho State football rivalry

Comment: Several objective indicia of a rivalry are present, including geographic proximity (this is an intra-state rivalry); an official name for the series ("Battle of the Domes", see http://www.govandals.com/news/2017/9/6/general-battle-of-the-domes-unveiled.aspx here); a traveling trophy (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Idaho%E2%80%93Idaho_State_football_rivalry&action=edit here); history dating back to 1916; and frequency of play (played regularly from 1962-1998, less frequently before and after, but set to be renewed starting in 2018). Also, there is some coverage of the series as a rivalry, including '''(1)''' https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16135124/bengals_shoot_for_upset/ this from 1967 ("renewing for the seventh time a rivalry that was born back in 1916"); '''(2)''' https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16134652/isu_throttles_vandals/ this from 1975 ("the ISU-Idaho rivalry has an emotional history"); '''(3)''' https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16135053/vandlas_bengals_stoke_fires_in/ this from 1976 ("Vandals, Bengals Stoke Fires in Time-Tested Rivalry"); '''(4)''' https://idahostatejournal.com/members/bengals-vandals-to-begin-battle-of-the-domes-yearly-rivalry/article_679242a8-553e-5aee-a96d-ba9a4d01a87b.html this from 2017 ("Bengals, Vandals to begin Battle of the Domes yearly rivalry series"); and '''(5)''' http://isubengal.com/bengals-vandals-unveil-new-rivalry-series-battle-domes/ this from 2017 ("Bengals and Vandals Unveil New Rivalry Series, 'Battle of the Domes'"). Not a slam dunk but overall, I think there's enough to pass the  bar

Comment: as a  pass, per Cbl62's sources. Whether it has attracted coverage outside of the local area is irrelevant - that's ''not'' how we judge the notability of articles. Here, there appear to be multiple RS third-party newspapers within the state of Idaho that have covered this series ''as a rivalry'' over a 50-year period. And, that's enough to meet GNG

Comment: Fails  with lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. The biggest issue is that it fails the guideline , namely that multiple sources are needed "so that we can write a reasonably balanced article that complies with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view".  Otherwise, editors will just cherry-pick facts from routine coverage in recaps of individual games, as opposed to independent sources that look at the rivalry as a whole.  "Local coverage" is not as issue for me; its the limited number of independent sources.  A rivalry from say California or Texas would likely generate more in-state, independent coverage than a series from Idaho
