Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Cross Border Rivalry
Firstly, the nominator failed to follow the  rule, and thus nominated the article without any chance for anyone to improve the page or to discuss the problems. Secondly, this rivalry is actually one of the most intense in the league and would clearly pass  if sources were correctly added to the article. There is a long history of animosity between the two clubs, there have been heated incidents between not just the players, but also between staff & players on both sides, and this rivalry has included several major matches like Grand Finals. There has also been violence between supporter groups and calls from police authorities for calm before matches. I think the core problem here is the name. The "Cross Border Rivalry" is too generic a name for this topic, and has been applied to other rivalries in other sports like Rugby League. Keep, send it back for a rename debate and better sources
