Non-notable high school football rivalry that fails WP:NRIVALRY and WP:GNG. Per WP:NRIVALRY, no sports rivalry is inherently notable, and must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. That means significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. This article has ten referenced footnoted sources; eight of the ten, however, are from the same hometown newspaper, The Journal-Times; all eight of them count as one source, and most of them are WP:ROUTINE game coverage. The ninth source is a book published by one of the two high schools, which means it is not independent of the subject, and cannot be counted for purposes of establishing notability. The tenth source is the Milwaukee Journal, but the article is primarily about the 75th anniversary of one of the high schools, and includes only an incidental (i.e. not significant) mention of the rivalry itself. Bottom line: the rivalry fails the general notability guidelines. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 02:38, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
