Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cardinals–Royals rivalry (2nd nomination)
facing each other in the World Series is not a rivalry, no indication in national sources that this is a notable rivalry, it's all local, team, and some fan blogs sources some of which doesn't look like to be |independent of the rivalry. It's like saying Marlins and Yankees are a rivalry because they played against each other in the World Series and there is probably more Yankees fans than Marlins fans in Miami. Every local newspaper will mention any team playing each other as a rivalry. The first close was really a no consensus, so the AFD is valid here
