Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M1 Derby (Australia)
request early close through |Snowball Clause. The nominator (who is Russian and clearly has no knowledge of the subject) has blindly nominated several related articles without bothering to discuss the pages (violating the  rule). His concerns could easily have been sorted if he had taken them to the talk page, and efforts made to improve the article before any deletion request should be considered under the AFD guidelines. A notable geographic rivalry is still a rivalry and as such, his viewpoint that the article is cruft is unfounded, there is no requirement in  for any 'incidents' (what sort of incidents? This is utterly subjective weasel wording), the article has several reliable sources and completely passes  thus making it an acceptable article. The charge that the article cannot be notable because one of the teams no longer competes would violate , which shows that a notable article is notable regardless of timescale
