Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of association football club rivalries by country
Previously discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Major football rivalries, where consensus was firmly that the topic is notable and should be covered. Nothing has changed since then, except that the inclusion criteria for the list are better defined as required by . The points made this time round, while reasonable, are not valid policy-based reasons for deletion. The fact that the list can't be completed is not a problem, nor is the lack of full references: sourced material goes in, and anything else is removed, as  states. With 92 references already, lack of sources is not an issue. Per , the existence or otherwise of a category does not affect whether a list should exist. In this case, a category would be useless as many of the rivalries here have no separate article. Splitting it into lists by country would be an editorial decision and not require deletion. A prose article on football rivalries is a good idea, but it does not need to come at the expense of the list. And how exactly does a fully sourced page with clear inclusion guidelines on a clearly notable topic harm Wikipedia
