This is another page with some historical significance but no true animosity that fuels a true rivalry. Georgia fans/administration would not put Vanderbilt alongside Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn or even South Carolina. This article gives no indication that it ever was anything but a regular conference game. All the listed historical "notable" games occurred before 1930. This series may mean a little more to Vandy (especially when they win), but Georgia certainly doesn't regard this annual matchup as more than a divisional game played every year. And, when Vandy loses, they generally give the game no additional weight either. This is just an average SEC game between two teams in the same division. That, in my view, is enough to warrant deletion for this page. CalebHughes ( talk) 18:33, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

- Keep This nomination is written entirely in the present tense. As noted in a similar AfD, Wikipedia doesn't exist to document things in the present moment, and the title doesn't imply currency. Acroterion (talk) 23:40, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

- Keep – this source and several others mention a rivalry. Poorly written AfD argument that bases deletion on the opinion of fans and administrators at each school, with no sourcing or Wikipedia policy to back it up. PCN02WPS ( talk | contribs) 01:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep more than enough coverage to surpass WP:GNG. Nice article.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 12:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Hard to find additional sources. Even easier to find the rivalry with Tech. Cake ( talk) 20:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
