Subject does not meet the

WP:SIGCOV. Only one source in the article even mentions these teams as a rivalry, and a BEFORE check didn't come up with enough for this one to pass the notability guidelines. Let'srun (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Delete per nom. Did a search myself and I found this source from topdrawersoccer, but I am not seeing the kind of significant coverage that you would expect in a rivalry. Jay eyem (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I don't think the coverage is strong, but I think the additional sources provided allow the article to barely squeak by on
WP:GNG. Jay eyem (talk) 21:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Keep, I feel like the article isn't seen as notable cause the rivalry doesn't have as much bite as it had in the mid-2000's when both programs were jockeying for the NCAA title, which kind of feels like recentism. Rylesbourne (talk) 19:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Looking at the sources from GauchoDude, the first source uses rivalry in the title but doesn't cover this series beyond a single game, thus failing the GNG, the second source is a game preview that briefly mentions other games but doesn't do so in depth, the third is yet another game preview with little coverage of this series as a rivalry, and the final one is not independent as it originates from the UC Santa Barbara student newspaper.

Keep- This article addresses an important rivalry in NCAA college sports. Jg10101 (talk) 22:11, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
