Given the precedent set on other rivalry pages, I think this one fits in the same category as Cowboys-Vikings, a historical match-up with lots of lore but not as currently recent. If we are willing to keep historical rivalries around with cultural lore (but not as currently toxic), than this can stay. The precedent recently doesn't support keeping this page.

: {{ping|Jackmar1}} It appears that you are trying to make a point as you stated in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cowboys-Vikings_Rivalry&diff=1055223864&oldid=1055206968 this] diff that Giants-Packers has "lots of notability" but threatened to open this AfD if the other AfD didn't go your way. This type of practice is considered disruptive. See WP:POINTy. Cbl62 (talk) 19:12, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the sources identified by BeanieFan. Also, this one of the oldest series (second only to Bears-Packers?) in the NFL, matching two of the league's legendary franchises, closely contested, and dating back almost a hundred years with 62 games played, including three NFL Championship Games. Cbl62 (talk) 18:52, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

:: See also "WP:NOTABILITY IS NOT TEMPORARY". A historic rivalry does not lose its notability simply if it becomes less competitive or "toxic" in later years. Cbl62 (talk) 18:58, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NTEMP, per BeanieFan11's sources. Ejgreen77 (talk) 20:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
Keep - If for no other reason than Lombardi's feelings towards his old team when they played. But of course there are lots of other reasons. Notability is not temporary. Rlendog (talk) 20:36, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

: {{ping|Cbl62}} Please see my comments on the Cowboys-Rams rivalry. I want to reiterate (and apologize if it doesn't feel this way) that I am trying to ensure consistent standards in how we view rivalries, not make disruptive posts. The key distinction I am trying to make and ask is that rivalries can exist for two reasons 1) current heat, fan bickering (think Cowboys-Eagles, Bears-Packers, Ravens-Steelers, Chiefs-Raiders) 2) historical clout but less recent games (think Cowboys-Steelers, Cowboys-Rams, Packers-Giants, Cowboys-Vikings). I'm seeing a lot of inconsistency in how people define a rivalry on Wikipedia and I think some are prioritizing current heat amongst fans instead of just notability. In my view, a rivalry page can exist to detail iconic NFL moments contained within one NFL match-up. But we just need consistency as my intial post alludes to in creating this discussion. Jackmar1^Talk 14:50, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Speedy keep clearly meets WP:GNG based on references in the article. Nomination was also made in bad faith. The nominator was disappointed that two articles he/she created were nominated for deletion, so he/she wanted to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point, as shown in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cowboys-Vikings Rivalry. Frank Anchor^Talk 03:01, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Keep per {{noping|Frank Anchor}}. Clearly meets WP:GNG. --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 14:27, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Speedy Keep per {{noping|Frank Anchor}}'s comments. This nomination is clearly made in poor faith, unfortunately. Plus, references above clearly support this page being kept. Spf121188 (talk) 20:58, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
