[edit] Muck bowl

An annual high school football game. Notable? Sarge Baldy 06:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete unless the schools themselves are deemed notable, in which case their rivalry might scrape in. BigHaz 06:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia doesn't have articles about either of the high schools involved, but no doubt such articles would be kept if they were written. Nevertheless, having an annual "rivalry game" is common in high school sports, and the question should be whether the Muck Bowl is a notable example of that. It does get some Google hits, but many seem to be from local media or a local web forum. It gets no Google Groups hits at all. --Metropolitan90 08:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete. The schools themselves might be deserving of articles, but certainly not a rivalry game. My alma mater produced an NFL hall-of-famer, and I don't even think our rivalry game deserves an article. - Thorne N. Melcher 09:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. High schools are hardly notable (or often, in my opinion, non notable). An annual game between two of them is utterly non notable. Fram 20:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Melcher and Metro. There are, I think, three or four high school rivalry games that might be notable (e.g., that between Union and Jenks High Schools, which has received fairly regular coverage from USA Today, Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, and The Sporting News, or that between Mater Dei and Long Beach Polytechnic High Schools, although I'm not sure that the latter game is contested with frequency), inasmuch as they are nationally known and notable in view of their media currency (plainly not in view of their athletic significance), but this surely isn't one.

• Delete A non-notable high school football game is not suitable for Wikipedia. Cedars 06:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Some high school programs might be notable if they produce an extremely disproportionate number of pros, but a rivalry game is not notable FancyPants 21:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
