[edit] The Little Brown Stein

I'm note sure if a trophy played for between two college teams justifies an entry ... please discuss !!! DavidHumphreys^{SPEAK TO ME}ABOUT_{THE THINGS I MESSED UP} 03:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. DarthVader 04:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete notability?-none Michael 06:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. We actually have a category for this (Category:College football rivalry trophies) with 50+ entries. I don't think it's any less notable than the ones there. BryanG^(talk) 07:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per BryanG. Doesn't strike me as particularly notable, but there's precedent here, and the article stands a chance, with time, of being on par with some of the better entries in that category. -- H·G (^words/_works) 07:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - It could do with a fair bit more information provided by someone or another, but there's certainly the germ of a useful article in there. BigHaz 11:35, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable, and without any reliable resources fails WP:VER and WP:NOR.
• Weak Keep Neither school is exactly a football powerhouse, but the length of the rivalry nudges this one out of a delete. JChap (Talk) 13:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per JChap. They may be smaller schools, but a 100+ year old rivalry game adds notability. And to answer David's question, yes, a college football trophy game is notable to a great degree. In the US, college football is more popular than pro sports in many parts of the country. There are no pro teams in Alabama or Mississippi, but on a fall Saturday, the states basically shut down if the big schools there are playing. --DarkAudit 14:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, although I first thought this article title was The Little Brown Stain... NawlinWiki 14:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. College football is ipso facto notable. Bacchiad 15:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I've actually heard of this, despite not living in the US, and despising American College football. Though it helps that I live immediately north of Montana. Resolute 05:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I loathe sports-cruft style articles, but I agree with HG above, let it ride and see if it improves. -- MrDolomite | Talk 20:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. It's just as notable as the Apple Cup and other College Rivalries. Agne27 03:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
