This text was deleted from the Florida Gators football article and dumped into a separate new article. This article is a substantial recreation of an article that was previously prodded and deleted by the consensus of active editors at
WP:CFB. The reasons given on the WP:CFB talk page were that the Alabama-Florida series does not constitute a "rivalry" game as that term is commonly understood, and per WP:CFB policy such material should be incorporated into Alabama Crimson Tide football, Florida Gators football, and their respective team-season articles.

Same editor has now created Alabama–Florida football rivalry. Please note that this AfD discussion includes two articles, not just one. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Sounds like this was simply ]
- Yes, Postdlf, I know. Otherwise, I would have submitted it for speedy deletion of a previously deleted and recreated article per CSD G4.
- In answer to your question about the split from the Florida Gators football article, the pre-existing Alabama-Florida series content was disproportionately long compared to other similar content sections. So, no, we don't want it back. LOL It should have just been deleted, without creating a new article into which to dump the content removed. Because of the previously prodded and deleted version of this article, AfD is our only choice to dispose of it. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:52, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Insufficient establishment of true "rivalry". Not an appropriate candidate for a split article.--GrapedApe (talk) 23:14, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I see no reliable references on the page, nor can I find any references with a google search, referring to games between Alabama and Florida as a "rivalry." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhortman (talk • contribs) 03:41, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete without prejudice to re-create. No sources, article isn't ready and is incomplete without sources/etc.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:03, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient rivalry, does not warrant its own page. Pigsbiy66 (talk) 11:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
